Crossmaglen Rangers would probably bate Glasgow Rangers at the minute!

Mind you, Donegal Celtic would probably bate Glasgow Celtic!

a bit, but no worse than the 'atmosphere' and ethic the man himself allowed to be cultivated in that club.

Walter Smith has hurredly signed a couple of Snowmen from Forfar after they impressed on Sunday, they are due to arrive in the summer as replacements for Broadfoot and Lafferty. Frosty, who is 6ft 7 showed more ariel ability than the young irishman with a defter touch and more clinical finishing.
A shrewd bit of business there by the mint.

Well done today Walter, gameplan worked a treat.

Kyle Lafferty on his own up front. That probably is even more negative than the UEFA cup campaign last year. Didn't think you could trump that one. Top marks.

QuoteRangers may face SPL chant probe

Rangers had asked their fans to stop singing the song
Sectarian chanting by a section of the Rangers fans during Sunday's 0-0 Old Firm draw has been reported to the SPL, BBC Scotland has learned.

The report, submitted by the match delegate, suggests that some away supporters at Celtic Park were guilty of unacceptable behaviour.

That conduct relates to the chanting of the so-called 'Famine Song' which, some say, mocks the Irish potato famine.

SPL bosses will now decide whether or not there is a case to answer.

The song, which includes the line "The famine's over, why don't you go home," was audible at various times throughout Sunday's 0-0 draw.

It refers to events that killed an estimated one million people in the 1840s and led to a mass migration from Ireland and has drawn condemnation from the chairmen of both clubs, Sir David Murray of Rangers, and Celtic's Dr John Reid.

Rangers have urged their fans to refrain from singing the song after it was first heard during their team's 4-2 victory at Celtic Park in August.

Following that occasion, Irish diplomats raised their concerns with the Scottish government after receiving a complaint from a Celtic fan.

The Scottish FA president George Peat said the football authorities were committed to eradicating such behaviour, after he heard the song during Rangers' 3-1 win over Hamilton Accies in October.

Representatives from Rangers held discussions with Strathclyde Police about how best to tackle the issue, and fans of the Ibrox club were warned that they risked arrest if they persisted with the chant.

A Rangers fan was given two years probation and a football banning order for singing the song at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park in November.

The club escaped punishment by the SPL in 2007 for sectarian chanting during a match at Inverness, as the league was satisfied they were doing their best to stamp out the problem.

However, they were warned that they would be sanctioned with a fine, or even a points deduction, if the problem continued.

Tut tut tut - should be ashamed of yourselves

anyone else find this a little bemusing ...one fan done for a stand full of fans chanting the song ?
I would think the fan feels a little hard done by ....

Muzz · February 17, 2009, 02:54:41 PM

I would imagine that he continued to sing it when asked not too. You know what them boys are like - don't know when to shut it :-)

I wonder what will stop them from singing these songs...the fine they got for their European travels last year didn't seem to put an end to it - Point reduction?

Its not easy for Rangers either though as I remember from Fergus McCanns days when they tried to stop some songs there was up roar among the fans.

On that point has anyone ever heard Charlie and the Bhoys song "Bhoys against Bhigotry". Its hilarious altogte
