Ibrox fans reacted with fury today after a sub-editor at The Sun decided to split the word hunger with a hyphen in the headline for a story from Brian Rice.

The Hamilton boss was praising the determination of Steven Gerrard’s squad but easily offended fans took to Social Media at what they viewed as a sectarian insult!

After a flurry of complaints the headline was changed from HUN-GER to hungry but that wasn’t enough for some fans who want to see action taken against Scotland’s best-selling newspaper.

The outrage comes less than a fortnight after Ofcom were contacted about a comment made by Irvine Welsh on Hibs TV during a match shown live by Sky Sports.

Despite an apology from Hibs to the visiting club the matter is being investigated by the SFA who requested a copy of the offensive half-time discussion.
