Fans of the club from Ibrox are exporting their anti-catholic hatred outside of Scotland this weekend.
Around 8,000 are expected for tomorrow’s friendly against RB Leipzig.
Pictures and videos of fans singing about their hatred of catholics has been appearing on social media.
The video clip shows fans singing ‘F*** the Pope’ on a flight from Newcastle with the fan boasting that the pilot wasn’t happy.

In recent times Police Scotland and the football authorities have opted out of taking action against repeated instances of The Billy Boys being sung at matches despite UEFA ‘enforcing’ a ban on the song in 2006.
Since 2011 fans of the clubs from Ibrox have only had one European trip to enjoy- a Europa League qualifier away to Maribor where Ally McCoist’s side lost 2-1 in August 2011.
A month earlier away fans were banned from attending the Champions League qualifier in Malmo that effectively kicked off the decent to liquidation.
With the rise in sectarian activity from Ibrox supporters exporting those attitudes outside Scotland doesn’t seem a wise move when the club is in desperate need of investment.

NB And passengers at Manchester Airport this morning had this to endure.
