A fantasy Rangers statement:
We once again condemn any chants of this nature They bring embarrassment to the club and it’s well behaved fans who are the majority. We fight against this small element but work has still to be done, and we will continue to fight to have unacceptable behaviour eliminated where we find it.
However our job in removing this behaviour becomes much harder due to the biased nature of the reporting of such events throughout the Scottish media. For example our managers, playing staff, and even former players have had stadiums reverberating with a very similar song targeting them about their religion in a negative context. This has been regular and recent. The media hear this just as we do - however on those occasions there has been no widespread media reporting or criticism of the offenders. This hypocrisy naturally makes it harder for us to remove a small but undesirable element who partake in similar behaviour amongst our own fan-base. If the Scottish media truly want to remove undesirable chants from our game they can’t then operate from a position of selective hearing - as has been witnessed over several years now.
