eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sectarian singing heard during Rangers' match against Hibernian at Ibrox is to be discussed by the Scottish Professional Football League board.Chanting from sections of the home support made up part of the league delegate's report from the Scottish Championship game on 28 December.And the matter will be discussed at a meeting on 19 January.However, the BBC understands it is unlikely that action will be taken because of current league rules.Sectarian singing has featured in a number of domestic delegate reports in recent years.But the club has provided the league with evidence that they were doing everything in their power to prevent such behaviour.Rangers have also been fined by European governing body Uefa relating to offensive chanting in European matches.It has led to calls for a rule change within the Scottish game in a bid to tackle the problem.Following the match against Hibs, which Rangers won 4-2, the Glasgow club issued a website statement condemning fans who took part in what they described as "inappropriate singing".Rangers stressed that it was a minority of fans involved and said would assist Police Scotland in identifying the culprits.Uefa fined Rangers in 2006 and ordered the club to make a public announcement at each of their home games pointing out that the chanting of the Billy Boys was banned after it was heard during a Champions League match against Villarreal.

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Reminds me, I saw this the other day:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-35231289This bit stood out:Mr Seymour said: "IS, Isis, Isil, is a proscribed organisation and inviting support for a proscribed organisation is prohibited by law.I wonder if the SPFL board are aware of this… Perhaps it might give them something else to discuss.

corkinator 611 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ill be honest I want to hear TBB loud and proud in all its glory, every game home and away. They can't expect one set of fans to adehere to SUBJECTIVE "offensive" chanting rules and others not to, it's a simple as that. It don't work carry on.

chris182 6,289 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The one sided nature of the reporting on this subject is breathtaking. The fact that the match reporter was probably bullied into including it in his report is equally as shocking. This is NEVER mentioned by the rags when fans of other clubs are guilty of "sectarian" singing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
