It’s amazing how journalists on Scotland simply can’t condemn Rangers fan behaviour without feeling the need to bring Celtic into it.
Rangers released a statement over the tifo aimed at Celtic supporters at Ibrox where an image depicted Graeme Souness aiming a gun at the Hoops support with the message “Take aim against the rebel scum”.
Rangers fans were also subjected Celtic supporters to 90 minutes of shameful sectarian abuse as the Ibrox Glasgow Derby ended in a 1-1 draw.
And as Rangers rightly condemn their fans, a journalist took aim at Celtic supporters over an issue that had absolutely nothing to do with them today.

Bill Leckie’s bizarre attack on Celtic fans over Rangers’ tifo
Celtic fans were in fine voice as they ripped into the Rangers supporters’Simply the Best’ as they enjoyed rubbing the Ibrox crowds nose in their championship winning season.
And as Rangers fans unfurled this monstrosity:
Rangers tifo at home to Celtic this afternoon
— 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 (@thecasualultra) Bill Leckie used it an opus to beat Celtic fans with a stick over an issue that had absolutely nothing to do with them.
‘Take Aim Against The Rebel Scum’ pic.twitter.com/KUtiHxZscOLeckie wrote in The Scottish Sun, “Surely this is the kind of stuff they’d want to be doing away with – though then again, you can never tell in the parallel world of Old F-rm rivalry, given that the people running the show at Parkhead spend every matchday whistling and looking at their shoes when a section of THEIR support give it the full terrorist karaoke and when unveil THEIR hateful tifos.”
Leckie did take the time to lambast the Ibrox support but why he had to bring Celtic and our fans into this is completely bizarre.
Maybe more time should be spent calling out the continuing Ibrox songs of hate by the likes of Leckie instead trying to lump Celtic into the sectarian cancer that haunts Glasgow’s south side.
