Twenty four hours after the wrecking spree at Pittodrie the SFA and SPFL have still to comment on Sunday’s incidents.

As well as the expected anti-catholic singing broadcast into Sabbath homes by Sky Sports around 100 seats were broken by Sevco season ticket holders.

With an allocation of just 2,000 tickets it shouldn’t be too difficult for the Ibrox security team to identify and ban the fans that vandalised the stadium.

Two weeks earlier over £100,000 of damage was done to the toilets at Celtic Park with no sign of police arrests or condemnation from the Ibrox club of the season ticket holders responsible for the damage.

While news services failed to highlight the vandalism of seats in the away section videos on social media showed the seats being launched at the home fans inside Pittodrie.

Only two fans were arrested at the stadium but Chief Supt Campbell Thomson said: “We have a dedicated team working with both clubs to identify those who let not only themselves down but their clubs too. Those who have committed offences will face the consequences.”

While the broken seats paint the most vivid picture it seems that the football authorities are happy to welcome back singing of The Billy Boys which was banned by UEFA in 2006.

The anti-catholic hate song has been heard repeatedly in away matches at Kilmarnock, Celtic and Aberdeen without any comments coming from any club or the SPFL.
