Stan Collymore has taken the secrets of racism within Scottish football to a worldwide audience.

The former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker has never opted to sit at the back of the bus and be grateful to be on-board the gravy train.

Racism returned to the menu in England at the weekend with Raheem Sterling being abused by Chelsea fans with the Manchester City winger firing back with a brilliant response through social media.

Yesterday the FA reacted to the Sterling incident, a week after footage appeared of Scott Sinclair being abused at Hampden the SFA and SPFL have remained silent. Brendan Rodgers and Derek McInnes both spoke out about racism and the abuse of Sinclair.

Scotland’s problems have been kept low key with many fans viewing Show Racism the Red Card as part of the problem rather than the solution.

On Saturday two Hearts fans were arrested inside Tynecastle after a group of fans racially abused Motherwell substitute Christian Mbulu as he warmed up before the match.

Yesterday after the club from Ibrox drew 1-1 away to Dundee on loan midfielder Ovie Ejaria was subjected to racial abuse on line by a number of ‘fans’.

Collymore has close to 900,000 followers on Twitter.
