Craig Whyte Rangers

Sevco fans have condemned Dundee United supporters’ plans to  wear Craig Whyte masks to the Scottish Cup tie between the two clubs next month.

Despite a club sanctioned boycott of the match one official supporters group has complained to the Daily Record about the stunt being planned by a facebook group of United fans.

Whyte bought Rangers from David Murray in May 2011 for £1 and was cheered into Ibrox the day after taking over the club.

Within a year however things turned sour with the club put into administration followed by liquidation in June 2012.

As soon as the Scottish Cup draw was made there were calls from Ibrox supporters to boycott the fixture with Charles Green quickly making it club policy.

United have already sold more than 200 tickets directly to Sevco fans with the Whyte mask upsetting Ibrox fans chief John McMillan.

He told the Record: “I was anticipating the United supporters doing something but I didn’t think they would stoop to this.

It’s out of order and Dundee United as a club should do all they can to prevent their fans from carrying this threat through.

The majority of Rangers fans will not be at the game and observe the boycott but unfortunately I’m certain some of them will go to Tannadice so this is a recipe for trouble.

It’s inflammatory to wear these masks and it’s disgraceful to even be thinking about it.

This game is already raised tensions and I fear any move to mock our support could have serious consequences.”

    It’s just utter nonsense to say “I anticipated them doing something…but not this.”
    Anticipate means to correctly predict and act accordingly. McMillan clearly a fool on a number of levels. Probably the word most commonly abused by people who try to act mildly intelligent while spouting rubbish.
