Little baby Jesus brings their presents on Christmas Eve, probably the root of the issue.

Of course UEFA could void the result and award us 3-0 win plus rescind Kamara's red card. That would REALLY punish them this tournament before banning that vile country from next season onwards till they sort themselves out.

Aye, let’s no

I have been living in the Czech Republic for 15-years, but I am not Czech.  For some people here there is a lack of education or just ignorance when dealing with other cultures/ethnicity.  I have witnessed it a few times in person.  It is wrong to paint a whole country as a racist backwater sh*thole, because of football fans.  It is completely unfair.  That being said, there is a obviously a bigger problem here than in other countries, and it comes down ignorance in my opinion.  In Scotland you have a problem with sectarianism at times, and in the Czech Republic they have a problem with racism.  We all have our problems.  On both sides there is a lot of work to be done.

I love the Czech Republic and the majority of people here.  It is sad to see what has been happening this year and in previous years with racism.  I have taught thousands of children over the past 15 years, and racism is rarely a problem.  Maybe they hear about it from their parents but as I said, it is a lack of education.  More needs to be taught in schools about respecting other cultures and ethnicities.   The Czech Republic is 40 years behind other countries.  It will take time to make this problem better, and it starts with the children.  If I hear something racist from one of my children, I immediately talk to them about why what they said is wrong.  Often they are saying these things because they think it is funny and they are looking for a laugh. As I said many times, lack of education and ignorance.  

I come from a country which is considered one of the best in the world for living standards, and this country also has a problem at times with racism, but it is more hidden than in the Czech Republic.

Rangers fans have an opportunity here when they host Sparta.  Don't lower yourself to some of the fans from the match in Prague.  Take the higher road, and try to promote equality and justice on and off the pitch.  Boo Sparta if you want, make the match intimidating for the Sparta players, but don't judge a whole country.  Release your frustration at the match on the players of Sparta, but please try not to label an entire country.  It doesn't help the situation at all.  Display your support for anti-racism and equality at football.  I have read some terrible things about the Czech Republic, and it is counter productive.  To make changes, it is one person at a time, and there are many people in the Czech Republic who are doing this right now.

Good luck the rest of the season.  My great grandmother was from Govan and I love visiting Scotland.  Also, I should clarify I am not a supporter of Slavia or Sparta ;)

When the Czech government are releasing statements backing racists and the Czech police can’t identify guys holding up a racist banner and when 2 rival clubs unite in support of racism then I would think the country has a serious problem.

In a fair and just organisation this would be the Ideal way to deal with it, unfortunately UEFA is not such an organisation, even if it were Man U or Real Madrid UEFA wouldn't act in the proper manner.

[Marco 1,425]

Playing the victim card might work a wee bit better if you weren't already serving a stadium ban for racially abusing rival players as well as having been fined by your own FA for two other racist incidents prior to that. And we've only just hit October. But then racists are never the brightest.

It's a daft suggestion. They should be banned but we lost the game. Leave scavenging for points from off-the-field incidents to other Scottish teams.

[Leftpegcoopz11 4,672]

We really need to try get to back to back wins against Brondby, and fuck these racist cunts at Ibrox. 9 points could see us qualify. Don't want these Czech fucks (slavia and Sparta) coming out on top every game. 

Not expecting much v Lyon away, but may depend what kind of form we are in at the time.

Tbh, I'm not bothered about gaining points or anything, it's more of a get it right up them for me, would be great to see the fallout.

Lyon should be done and dusted by the time we go over there so hopefully they don’t give a shit.

Lyon weren't that great. They just played this seasons Rangers. I honestly think we beat them last season.

Agree

they were on par with Porto when we beat them a few seasons back . 
 

only team that we have played under Gerrard and thought were a level or two above was Leverkusen . Maybe include Braga for the first 60 minutes at Ibrox

Agree. Leverkusen were a solid outfit. We've gone from looking like we belong at that level or above to struggling. All part of this seasons gremlins.

Remind them that Jesus was a Palestianian Jew, and a dark skinned man. Their heads will explode like Scanners.

To be honest I did think that was likely given the on-point Jesus comment

I'd guess the press in Prague made it all out that Kamara was a liar, the country isn't known for being racist.

Doesn't excuse it for any of us but booing someone for being what their press call a liar isn't racism.

If it was only Glen then maybe but Roofe got it (ok the goalkeeper accident but that's tenuous at best imagine it was celtics keeper I doubt anyone of us would give a fuck) 

Then every single time a black player touched the ball they got jeers that raised to full on boos.

I hope we bury these bastards at Ibrox I really do
