One week after finally commenting on anti-catholic singing Neil Doncaster appears to have gone quiet on the subject.
Last Tuesday- four days after the Raith Rovers v Sevco match- Doncaster mentioned that he hoped to have sight of the match delegate report that was expected to mention sectarian songs by the away support.
Shamed into acknowledging the issue by Stan Collymore, the SPFL chief executive mentioned his favourite get-out clause of establishing if clubs had done everything required to prevent such action.
Since his statement Doncaster hasn’t revisited the issue.
“We hope to have sight of the match delegate report from Friday night’s Raith Rovers v Rangers SPFL Championship match within the next 24 to 48 hours,” he said a week ago.
“It remains the SPFL’s position that if it can be established that clubs have done everything required in overall management of the event pre-match, during the game and post-match then they have no case to answer.
“But setting that aside, the vast majority of decent fans will share a strong degree of anger and despair that the good name of Scottish football is once again being dragged through the mud by the distasteful, shameful and selfish actions of a mindless minority who seem hell bent on indulging in outdated and offensive behaviour.
“I know that clubs, players and many others across the game share this frustration.
“While we can’t comment further until we review the match delegate report, we will work with our clubs and the police to do everything within our powers to act against those involved in such unacceptable conduct and behaviour.
“However ultimately we also need the supporters to play their part to help stamp out such behaviour.”
Doncaster made mention of ‘mindless minority who seem hell bent on indulging in outdated and offensive behaviour’. Perhaps he could explain when this behaviour became outdated having previously been acceptable?
