    Rangers 9 In a Row 20th Anniversary Dinner

    “It was ridiculous – 880 people in dinner suits chanting sectarian songs. I’m not Catholic but they shouldn’t be allowed to sing anti-Catholic songs. Some of the staff felt very uncomfortable, including an Irish member of staff who was very worried.”

    I'm no Sherlock but 2 things I could have predicted better than any of the Glasgow Police is :

    1. Hibs fans will invade the pitch if they win the Scottish Cup.. and
    2. 880 black-tied bigots will sing anti-catholic songs when they gather to celebrate the dead Huns 9IAR.

    Shockeroony, they fail in their duty to manage both.

    Only thing that surprises me is that 880 Huns had Dinner Suits on

    This would have been more newsworthy if they hadn't behaved like that.

    Or that they had £70 each.

    I hope Police Scotland investigate this with the same enthusiasm and vigour that they persued the hibs fans that went on to the pitch at Hampden

    Or.... sweep sweep sweep. Nothing to see here

    The latter probably.

    If this involved racism, anti-semitism or sexism it would be national news and there would be calls for this vehicle called Rangers to be shut down.

    Instead we get a collective “ach well”. Scotland’s shame and elephant in the room.

    Sectarianism is as good as our national pastime. It's a sad reflection of our society that I'm almost wondering why this is even news.

    That would have brought a bit of upside to Slaters shares.

    Totally agree - the idea that, in England for example, a dinnet of one of the top fitba clubs could act in such a way singing racist or anti-muslim songs is nonsense - the FA, police, sponsors etc would come down on them like a ton of brixks.

    How the huns still get away with this is a shame on our police and our politicians, not to mention our football authorities.

    Some of them are bound to have filmed it and there's probably one or two of them daft enough to post it on social media.

    And to think they complained about the infamous scene in T2. Life imitating art indeed.

    But their club see nothing wrong with this behaviour, the football authorities won't acknowledge it, and the Police and Government couldn't care less

    Police Glasgow will have no problem getting witnesses when it comes to tracking down the perpetrators here, what with half the audience being plod and journalists.

    Got to wonder how many might have attended if the original club still existed.

    First time I've seen that. Very, very funny.

    Sad thing is you just know this will have become an actual song they sing when they think its private and safe to do so.

    I take it Murdo Fraser is demanding a full enquiry and sanctions? Someone should tweet him the story, I’d hate to think he could miss it.

    Unlikely as 25% of the assembled bigots would be retired or serving officers.

    Imagine how raging these 880 cretins would be as we streamed onto the pitch after SDGs header. Hahaha

    Exactly this. How Scotland continually turns a blind eye to this is shameful and embarrassing.

    Miss it? He was probably there.

    Someone should be able to get hold of the guest list.

    I wonder how many other “officials” where there.

    It should get similar scrutiny to the coverage of the Presidents Club scandal.

    Name and shame those who attended.
