Celtic fans have rallied behind Scott Sinclair after he highlighted the racist abuse he was subjected to at Hampden.
A video clip of his second half penalty at Hampden clearly picks up the terms used by an Aberdeen supporter.
Despite the hands-off approach of Show Racism the Red Card (Scotland) to the matter ordinary supporters have been disgusted by the abuse.
…Just seen the video from Sunday’s game, absolute disgrace for the ignorance of the uneducated fan shouting racial abuse. pic.twitter.com/pVTuS6Bm8G

Pure racist scumbags, Scotty. You’re spot on, they are just uneducated ignorant people without brains.

Clearly Sinclair never heard the abuse while he was at Hampden but the attitude of the Dons fan isn’t unusual.
At Ibrox in April 2017 two supporters were captured on television making racist gestures at the Celtic winger, the host club, the SFA and SPFL made no comment with no action taken.
Every autumn Show Racism the Red Card (Scotland) allow clubs to pat themselves on the back with a few token action while body swerving tough decisions about their own season ticket holders.
Despite the attention that the video created on social media earlier this week there has been no comment from the SFA, SPFL or Aberdeen about the incident.
