Yesterday morning I wrote and article on the experience of a lady at Ibrox, who alleges when she tried to call out racist and sectarian chants at Ibrox she was met with vitriol and abuse from male supporters that she felt the need to leave the stadium.
Today, I can report on a second case of alleged racist chants again at Ibrox in the same match (Hearts) where prominent sports vlogger, Qasim Sheikh, said he heard vile sectarian signing for the full 90 minutes and abuse aimed at the linesman for making an honest mistake.
The vlogger took to twitter to recall his experience, “I was at Ibrox this Saturday for the RangersFC game vs Hearts.
“I know I will be get the you are not a Rangers fan for this post and for that I will simply say Thumbs up the full 90 mins was full of bigotry, linesman made a bad call early on and was then called a Tarrier fenian b…
“It’s crazy that in 2021 this is still going on and far from ending. Calling someone the names above is no different from calling someone a b.. b or whatever. I can’t see it changing, I will support the team from far now which is made up of a diverse squad!
Should Celtic sign Jota now or wait till end of the season? Take the poll HERE!
“Just to add, and to avoid confusion I am by no stretch saying it was the full stadium,however in my stand there were a fair few doing so,as I said above my wife is Catholic and if she was somewhere hearing Paki for instance I would expect her to feel the same.”
And it didn’t take long for the usual replies and excuses to come marching in:
Unfortunately you’d have been sitting next to Celtic fans posing as Rangers fans. Happens every game.

And then the accusations of lying come to him:
Another fake story if this was true why not highlight it on Saturday why wait 5 days or did it take you that long to make the wee story up

These mutants who follow the Ipox club believe it’s their right to sing what they want without encumber. The march through the city facilitated by Police Scotland proves that, it also proves they have no respect for their Protestant ancestors who had to flee An Gorta Mor and those who sadly didn’t survive to come to Scotland for a “better life”. The struggle of the Irish many of them dying shouldn’t ever be forgotten but those who sing the famine song are pissing over the graves of the dead many of them their own families. It shows the limited intelligence and disregard for human life they have, I even had a guy unbelievably trying to argue with that the potato famine was made up by ‘taigs’ to try and evoke sympathy from the rest of the world. Needless to say I left him without a name afterwards and when I listed all the reasons he was wrong he had no hiding place in the pub we were in he left totally humiliated and with his tail between his legs.
