Rangers fans and sectarian singing go hand in hand as the Ibrox support belt out anti-Celtic sectarian songs week in and week out either in Ibrox or wherever they travel to around Scotland.
Their Everyone Anyone campaign pays lip service to a cancer in Scottish football that the authorities have no interest in eradicating from the game.
Celtic fans have been subjected to this kind of singing not just from fans but also Rangers players who have been taking part in the anti-Celtic sectarian singing for decades now.
But today at Dingwall, the Rangers songbook was out in full force as the Sky Sports microphones allowed this bile to be poured into thousands of families’ homes this Sunday afternoon.
The Rangers anti-Catholic Celtic songbook out on force vs Ross County
Sectarianism is still alive and well in Scottish football as the Rangers support continue to belt out their bile in every stand in Scotland.
This afternoon the Billy Boys was proudly and loudly sung after they scored their opening goal against Ross County in Dingwall.
This was followed up by singing ‘F-ck the Pope’ and then a rendition of ‘to die a Fenian b-sta-rd’ rung out from the away end.
All songs clearly heard through our TV screens and what did Sky Sports do?
Sky Sports’ reaction to Rangers fans’ anti-Celtic sectarian songs
Sky Sports and the BBC are quick to put out apologies whenever Celtic fans are caught swearing on their mics or protesting about the minute’s silence.
So when thousands of Rangers fans sang about killing Catholics, there was going to be at least an apology, right?
Don’t be so stupid. Sky Sports said nothing. Zero. Zilch. They didn’t even reach for the mute button. They allowed this bile to be spewed into our homes with no thought of their audience.
It’s pretty much the same stance the BBC and Tom English took after they slated Celtic fans for their songbook after they heard the Ibrox signing after Celtic drew with Rangers last season. Nothing was said about that either.
Surprising? No. Disappointing and double standards? Absolutely.
