Using the same one Griffiths is relying on perhaps?If it’s the video widely circulated then how can she possibly have any defense?
I think she'd have more luck with the saltire angle.She could try the satire angle.
I’m pretty sure “Abdul”was in the footage that was widely shared on social media that led to the charge- the very same “Abdul” that was punched and subjected to sectarian abuse - then in a separate incident also thrown in the fountain by the Tartan Army in London during the Scotland game against EnglandNot even to any Pakistani who might have been at the celebrations?
It was also a fairly drunk woman singing it with the very odd Abdul. It's cringe, and can't be condoned, but it's not alarming on any way. It's more embarrassing for her than a crime.Not condoning the song but I fail to see how it would cause anyone fear or concern.
I know who he is, and doubtless her defence lawyer will be making similar points, but I can't see them sticking. Many hours community service await her, or maybe worse.From the video I seen it looks like she joined in a song initiated by an idiot who who unfortunately has an affinity with our team.
He is Pakistani, he's very well known and it doesn't take too much googling to find him singing his usual bizarre ditty
Infact he's even mentioned by name in the newspaper report in the OP
Doubt itI know who he is, and doubtless her defence lawyer will be making similar points, but I can't see them sticking. Many hours community service await her, or maybe worse.
I doubt it as well, especially as she has a wean. But I guess sheriffs can occasionally be in foul moods.Doubt it
I was deeply offended by members of the tartan army singing “if you all hate the English “ why was these people not arrested?A RANGERS fan who allegedly sang a racist song during the team's title celebrations will stand trial on Christmas Eve.

Hundreds of jubilant Gers fans gathered at the grounds to party after the club's Scottish Premiership title win.
Prosecutors claim the 28-year-old behaved in a threatening or abusive manner which would cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm.
The charge alleges Hennessey sang a song which contained "racially offensive lyrics".

It is stated that the alleged offence was racially aggravated.
Hennessy pleaded not guilty to the charge at a hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court today.
Prosecutor Monique Cooney said: "There is no opposition to bail and there will be no special conditions set.
"The Crown seeks trial dates."

Maybe they'll lose the evidence.If it’s the video widely circulated then how can she possibly have any defense?
Jealousy???Those on here slagging"Abdul", calling him attention seeking etc.
Have you ever met and had a conversation with him?
Maybe a touch of jealousy here
If it is a criminal offence for a Pakistani to sing that song why are scum fans arrested for singing about being part of a F....n army?Still a criminal offence, although it was a white woman singing it.
This is no doubt the girl was was filmed singing that moronic song which was actually started by the equally moronic Abdul. Its typical that there are various videos of him singing it online and there's no issue with it. This stupid lass simply joined in with him singing it and she is now up in court.A RANGERS fan who allegedly sang a racist song during the team's title celebrations will stand trial on Christmas Eve.

People with mental health issues banned from the vicinity of the stadium?? Is that you Adolf?Jealousy???
The guy clearly has mental problems / should be on medication & definitely not be allowed near the stadium again.
She is only guilty of joining in singing the same song the moronic Abdul was singing. Other were singing it as well and he was encouraging them.Seen the video, pleading not guilty is a bold strategy that Cotton will have to wait to see how it plays out.
Can't be selective in which racists we want punished severely.
He seems exempt from any charges. I wonder why that is?Aye lock her up and throw away the key eh!
What a waste of everyones time.
For the record, has Abdul ever been lifted for singing it?
Keeping in mind he sings it every single time he leaves the hoose!
I was talking about that specific individual who has had umpteen chances, hasn’t changed his behaviourPeople with mental health issues banned from the vicinity of the stadium?? Is that you Adolf?
Parents obviously love cars and brandy.Shelby Hennessy? Everyone, anyone right enough!
Maybe he needs proper help? If he is vulnerable he should be getting looked after not derided as some sort of super villain. A lot more dangerous people walking our streets than AbdulI was talking about that specific individual who has had umpteen chances, hasn’t changed his behaviour
People are adults and responsible for their own behaviour. Adbul needs proper helpI think someone needs to have a word with Abdul before someone ends up getting the jail. People are stupidly joining in with him thinking it is all a big joke. He was at his antics in Belfast at the 12th and a lot of people were getting selfies etc. Interestingly one bandsman called him a f**king wanker probably due to negative publicity this brings to our fans.
Or concernSinging that you'd rather be Pakistani than a tim strikes fear into Pakistanis? Ok
What racist terms were used? You have changed the narrative because you are easily offended. How do you know a Pakistani would be offended? What has Glen got to do with it? He was abused because of the colour of his skin. There are a large number of people of Asian origin around Ibrox I think they would have heard the term Paki, in the West of Scotland, as in short for Pakistani, quite a lot in their life and view it not as an insult but more of an acceptance of them and their origins.You mentioned both Fear and Concern? Do you not think a Pakistani hearing someone sing about P*kis might feel concerned? After what has happened recently, after what happened to Glen, I have zero sympathy for anyone who sings songs with racist words. Some people seem to want to turn this woman into some sort of martyr.
How do they know she is a Rangers fan?
As I said , in my unqualified medical opinion granted, that he does need help, the last thing he needs is encouragement to sing those types of songs / be some kinda source of amusement for some in our support who run up to him for a photo / video as that girl seems to have done.Maybe he needs proper help? If he is vulnerable he should be getting looked after not derided as some sort of super villain. A lot more dangerous people walking our streets than Abdul
I assume you are not from the West of Scotland or you lead a sheltered life.Or concern
Someone using a derogatory way to describe a section of society is indefensible. Grow up
Yeah I am and adult enough to know singing what she did is idiotic and you deserve everything that comes your way.I assume you are not from the West of Scotland or you lead a sheltered life.
I didn't realize they are, but its the same principal anyway. I know there is inconsistency, but I'd rather not defend what this woman was doing, or try to downplay it. I criticise others for sweeping stuff under the carpet, I'd rather rangers fans called out racism for what it is, especially after the support we gave Kamara earlier this season.If it is a criminal offence for a Pakistani to sing that song why are scum fans arrested for singing about being part of a F....n army?
Im not defending it. Im saying it doesnt strike fear or concern into anyone. In gact why not ask the Pakistani that was next to her if he was frightened or concerned.Or concern

I didn't realize they are.....
It is very much a rascist word.What racist terms were used? You have changed the narrative because you are easily offended. How do you know a Pakistani would be offended? What has Glen got to do with it? He was abused because of the colour of his skin.

I could be wrong about that, but I would be interested to know from our own supporters with Pakistan origin say.
Rangers arent anything to do with Abdul. He supports us thats all.As I said , in my unqualified medical opinion granted, that he does need help, the last thing he needs is encouragement to sing those types of songs / be some kinda source of amusement for some in our support who run up to him for a photo / video as that girl seems to have done.
for his own sake , (& Rangers reputation) hes best well away somewhere getting some treatment / counciling
Think you have left the word "not" out of your sentence.If it is a criminal offence for a Pakistani to sing that song why are scum fans arrested for singing about being part of a F....n army?
Cuckoo!A quick FB search tells you that. Also went to an RC school bizarrely if its the same person
I am not easily offended. I've got as thick a skin as you can imagine. There was a poster on here, a Muslim Asian, I think Pakistani, who posted something tearing strips off Abdul, which got a record number of Likes, so that is one view.What racist terms were used?

I said it for Months before this video came out it was only a matter of time before someone would be jailed for copying it. It hasn't deterred him. He still wants to sing it especially when he is being encouraged to do so by young neds.I think someone needs to have a word with Abdul before someone ends up getting the jail. People are stupidly joining in with him thinking it is all a big joke. He was at his antics in Belfast at the 12th and a lot of people were getting selfies etc. Interestingly one bandsman called him a f**king wanker probably due to negative publicity this brings to our fans.
Maybe worse - you think a custodial sentence would be appropriate?I know who he is, and doubtless her defence lawyer will be making similar points, but I can't see them sticking. Many hours community service await her, or maybe worse.
Not easily offended,, aye ok Billy.I am not easily offended. I've got as thick a skin as you can imagine. There was a poster on here, a Muslim Asian, I think Pakistani, who posted something tearing strips off Abdul, which got a record number of Likes, so that is one view.
But, in all fairness, if you honestly do not consider the word "p*ki" to be offensive, then there's no point in discussing it with you. If you were in charge of a group of lads at work, for example, would you really use this word to them. "Right, could you two p*kis come here please, and help me tidy up". You'll not go far.
I imagine it could.Im not defending it. Im saying it doesnt strike fear or concern into anyone. In gact why not ask the Pakistani that was next to her if he was frightened or concerned.
When scum fans sing songs at games that are deragtory to us are you concerned? Hope you are ok and are able to cope....
I'm sorry, post 142 has made it clear (I hope!) I was genuinely wondering what this story was, as I'd never heard it. Typo on GL's part (I hope!)I dont believe that
Well you aren't so stop be offended on their behalf.To me, It’s implying that being a Pakistani is bad, but isn’t as bad as being Celtic fan or Catholic? Which is pretty insulting to Pakistanis and of course catholics if it was meant that way.
So if I was a Pakistani rangers fan, I would be pretty gutted hearing that.
Thats exactly what happened. It could easily have been any number of the young neds that were joining in with him singing it.Im pretty sure in the video she's with other rangers fans and she's wearing rangers apparel
Looks like she heard wee Abdul singing his 'party piece' and joined in
She looked absolutely blitzed on the video I saw online
