They are the lowest form of life. A number of years ago rangers MK1 played reserve fixtures at Alloa. I used to go along with a mate as it was a game of football to watch. One night they were playing Falkirk who had Maurice Johnston playing for them. Just along from me was a stereotypical Hun, fat, bald, angry and wearing the obligatory Hun too that looked two sizes too small. The entire game he called Johnston every name under the sun. Always preceded by the word Fenian. At one point he shouted that he hoped that Johnston and his kids died of cancer. Cue laughter from other Huns and no one pulled him up about any of it. And don't forget that Johnston was a multiple trophy winner with them as well!! I never went back to any of the games after that. Horrible bunch of people

No, I see no grounds for any arrest. The guy is an animal, but he broke no law. Impossible to charge someone with saying "how's your sister".

I would add that, if Brown had lost his temper on the spur of the moment and punched the guy, I would hope the polis would have shown understanding and looked the other away. It would be assault, but nobody could have blamed him.

Scott Brown tremendous footballer and high profile individual on the telly most weeks and has a dead sister certainly needs protected from cretins. Including the whataboutery versions (not you).

Saw this earlier on Facebook and I cannot even begin to imagine how someone can even think of saying something as cruel as this towards another human being.

I love banter in football but bringing a player's relative into things, who died of cancer, is just an absolute disgrace no matter who the player is.

I'm heartened to see that many Rangers fans seem to be criticising this person and all I can say to them is, you never know what's round the corner in your own life.

Spoke to a police officer pal of mine about this and he said

“yes at the time a breach of peace arrest could have been made. maybe even a public order offence as you need (or a fictionary 3rd person present ) need to be caused harassment harm or distress. I would argue that brown could have been caused harm . however the issue is when the **** bag has legal rep and then goes no comment. as prior to court he will lie and say I didn't know and was genuinely asking. the procurator fiscal will then not pursue case on a public interest argument is would think....”

Just because she can't hear it, doesn't make it ok in my book. Absolutely hate the mercer songs and think they have no place at football. I understand what he attempted to do, but songs aimed at a person's family about the person's death are totally wrong.

What happend to brown is shocking and I am glad others said so and the rangers have taken action

I thought he looked more fired up than usual on Sunday - that moment near the touchline when he rode two tackles and still came away with the ball, followed by his muscle flexing "come on!" pose afterwards seemed particularly angry.

Utterly despicable behaviour - not only is it good to see Rangers take action, but in the video you can hear other Rangers fans calling the **** out for what he shouted.

Undoubtedly for me - but this incident doesn't prove that. It just shows that one vile cretin stood and shouted a horrible remark.

I thought very similar to what HC asked earlier re the songs and chants that our own have come out with over the years. There's nothing "fair game" in singing about death and cancer or the victim's family whatsoever. If anything I would argue that songs and chants make us (and other clubs) look worse than this one balloon's comment does for Rangers - in the same way that the one tosser at Tynecastle who spat on the ballboy was on his own with his actions and his behaviour was immediately condemned. Similarly I've heard the odd individual singing about Ricksen on the way to a semi-final before... he's not representative of the Hibs fans, but it would be harder to palm-off if hundreds of Hibees were joining in.

Genuinely can't believe some people are outraged at this and defending some of the bile that comes from our fans as "fair game" in the same breath.

It's all brutal and has no place in football/the world.

Seriously? You think it’s a shame on that little idiot making a disgusting remark to Brown about someone who died that was close to him? There’s saying daft things but saying something as despicable as that little bawbag did to Brown is nothing short of disgusting. Even his own fellow fans were appalled at what he said. The prick deserves everything thrown at him. He only has himself to blame and well done to Sevco for acting on it straightaway.

I get the point you are making, but being 15 isn’t an excuse for the nastiness of his comment. It wasn’t just run of the mill crass abuse. A lifetime ban is over the top, I’m sure even Scott Brown would agree. Hopefully this is the kick in the arse he needs to grow up, although difficult to have too much sympathy if he is given a life ban.

I actually think that post makes some good points ...it is a horrible thing to have said ...but surely , it’s about helping this young
Kid - because that is what he is - to feel remorse and learn from his hateful stupidity...no one has been assaulted or injured...a Meeting with a Scott Brown to apologise and explore it would be a great thing to arrange, if Brown is willing to meet...

Some over the top comments on here. A daft laddie has said something stupid. Yes it was crass and insensitive but being charged and a lifetime ban is way over the top. I know how daft I was at 15 and I’m glad no one was around to film all my mistakes and share on social media. Surely a good talking to and educate him on how to behave is going to more useful to him and society. The over the top reaction will haunt him for years. Time people remembered he’s just a child

Naw. I was 15 not a million years ago and it works never have crossed my mind to say something so outright ****my and hurtful.

Lad wanted to be the big cock o' the walk and it has backfired on him spectacularly. Good. Hell mend the little scrote

I suspect this little scrote was not similarly blessed.
Hopefully at 15, he isn't too far gone and will learn from this abomination.

I know Fiona and the brown family well. This will have hurt Scotty deeply but as much as the remark disgusts me if he’s 15 then a lot of the above post I agree with.

Good on Scotty for not reacting, not sure I’d have been able to contain my anger if it was me who heard it.

Hopefully this lad realised how stupid and hurtful a remark it was not just to Scott but to everyone who remembers Fiona and regrets it.

I think criminal proceedings are perhaps a bit harsh but I will commend Rangers for taking the decision to ban him regardless of age.

Noticeable that he said it with the cops between his victim and himself.

I was, and I've no idea about his situation at home. But you don't need to have been raised by Mary Poppins in a land of milk and honey to know that deceased relatives is a line that should never, ever be crossed at the football.

He deserves the life ban, it seems like the penny has finally dropped in the marble staircase about the true nature of a large element of the Huns support and they are at least trying to act accordingly.

Sadly we have lots of scrotes in our own support.
Many of whom can be seen making a tit of themselves at most away matches but particularly at Tynecastle and Ibrox

I noted last week that one such Hibs supporting scrote was convicted for a 2nd time in 3 years
Last time he tried to mess up one of the best days in the clubs history by swinging a punch at an opposition player whilst normal Hibs fans were in a state of near nirvana. This time he decided to shout sectarian remarks at opposition supporters.
Despite his 1st **** up being a monumental one he remarkably failed to learn anything from it.
A despicable Hibs supporting bigot who embarrasses our club at every opportunity.

I have a dead sister. Scott Brown should be commended for the lack of this “15 year old” missing his ****ing potty teeth.
Songs, banter all very well. The Glesca patter. I couldn’t care less about the sea shanties.
But Rangers breed these spiteful vindictive *******s and have done for decades and made money from it. Filth.
Hope he does time and his bottom is widened even if his mind can’t be.

It is not just about this 15 year old. There are loads of other fans (of all teams) that hurl abuse at players and as you say, there is much worse out there. If this guy is made an example of then it is a step towards deterring others from saying or doing similar or worse. If he is let off with just being made to feel ashamed about it for 10 minutes then it is effectively saying to everyone it is okay to do as long as you say sorry afterwards.

He'll have to make do with going to Rugby Park at waiting for someone to open the gates.

No one is suggesting otherwise..and perhaps if you had noted the post I was building on you would recognise that I am not suggesting it wasn’t deeply hurtful , hateful and offensive ...

just because of this and the high profile nature of the act - doesn’t mean there should be a disproportionate response to such an offensive act...

At 15 I would have said hateful things - many of us would have - social Media now captures them and there are consequences...there should be here..but it should be in context..

Yeah i know. I still feel any kind of police involvement is a tad over the top. I'd like to think that the fact he's been banned for life from Ibrox, been publicly named and shamed and been met with complete revulsion from other Rangers fans (which is no mean feat) is enough of a punishment.

I'm not so sure he needs to be dealt with by the legal system and I say that as someone who finds what he said absolutely disgraceful.

Within a year he will be able to join the army, get married and vote “no” in indyref2, so hardly an age where it can be passed off as crass. Malicious and disgraceful are better adjectives.

I noted in an earlier post at we have a couple of ditties that really need to be put to bed for good. The guy in question is clearly an incorrigible moron, but assuming "sectarian abuse" to be just that, whilst out of order and rightfully punishable (and being punished) by law, on the sliding scale of "beyond the pale" topics, it's not on a par with using a deceased family member to try and score points.

What he’s said was disgusting and if I was Brown, I probably wouldn’t have cared what age he was at the time. I thought Brown looked taken back and hurt by it- so couldn’t fault him if he did react.

Having said the above- I think you’re spot on. He’s 15 and only a child. Probably raised from birth (possibly not) to hate Catholic’s and Celtic. Education is exactly what’s needed in this situation. Also think he should sit down with Brown and explain why he said it and of course apologise. Assuming he knows he’s made a horrible mistake. The last thing you want is to fill him with more hatred- which is exactly what will happen if he’s charged and given any sort of time (YO unit or the likes). I bet there’s plenty of courses out there he could attend to educate him on such matters and change his views in life. Still, he needs to accept full responsibility and become a man and admit he was wrong and apologise.

What does it say? It says to me that someone at the age of 15 is bordering on becoming an adult and should know better. A daft 12 year old with a squeaky voice would be more forgivable.

He has a deep voice for a fifteen year old; I thought he sounded twenties easily. It's still an atrocious remark, but he's just a boy who will probably cringe about that moment as he gets older. We have to allow some mitigation for his age. A sincere apology to Scott Brown is surely enough, given his age. He'll learn, hopefully.

If this was New Zealand the scrote would have been ejected out of the ground for breach of the peace and the police would have arranged for the occupier to trespass him for 2 years. That behaviour should not be tolerated anywhere in the world.

I was talking about us allowing 16 yr old to join the army and marry.

All the evidence now suggests your brain is not fully developed until 26 years of age. At age 15 to early twenties we all do daft things. They should not stay with you forever.

Was a Rangers fan who posted originally on Facebook, when he posted the guys Facebook profile he was saying he knew it was this guy because he'd had run ins with him on various rangers forums. That should have set alarm bells of for folk straight away but instead they all just grabbed pitch forks and went after the guy. Ridiculous state of affairs.

I can well remember when I was fifteen and I can also remember some of the stupid things I said and did, that’s what you do and how you learn at that age, but to say something like what this lump said is nothing short of disgusting. Fifteen maybe but still old enough to know what’s right or wrong and definitely old enough to know that by saying something like this can be very hurtful. There were similar sayings during the Maurice Johnstone days, there’s also some despicable references in the songs they sing so he has been well rehearsed.
