Graham Spiers was taken to task as he attempted to defend the anti-Catholic ethos celebrated by Ibrox fans.
Carious cosmetic exercises such as Everyone Anyone has been taken on by the club but the effect of that was on display in the centre of Glasgow throughout Saturday.
Businesses trying to recover from Lockdown were forced to shut down and take on extra security measures to protect their premises from 12-15,000 law-breaking Covidiots.
Spiers likes to argue the case for the nice, cuddly ‘Rangers’ fan as a lover of football, why they want to associate themselves with thousands of bigots on a weekly basis only they can explain.
All the usual soundbites were included in a statement from the club today led by the old favourites of small minority and so-called fans.
The residents of Glasgow and elsewhere in the west of Scotland know the truth about the core fan-base and the token gestures that the club makes from time to time to distance themselves from their financial lifeline.
Yes it has. Endless campaigns. Endless ‘Pride Over Prejudice’ initiatives. Repeated pleas to that mob-centre of the Rangers support that enjoys a bigoted chant. But each effort apparently doomed. https://t.co/rJQWV1QlqD

Graham you know that those within the club are all in favour of this bigotry. You just have to look at the video of the players and officials in all their racist bigotry. It’s NOT an embarrassment. It’s unacceptable. No more excuses from you and them with their false equivalence.

100% Agreed. “that mob-centre of the Rangers support that enjoys a bigoted chant.” – If you were to say that a problem exists at the centre or heart of an organisation be it in football, politics or religion, you know you have a bigger problem on your hands

Sorry Graham but you are talking out if yer tailpipe mate. They have had the odd PR exercise for show but we all see the orange tops and know they play Sloop John B with a wee nod and a wink. They play up to it as thats what gets the idiots spending their money.

Nonsense. Rangers have repeatedly played to this bigots gallery (their cash cow) with a nudge-nudge, wink-wink. e.g. Fans encouraged to turn up to a cup final in orange to celebrate the Dutch connection. Aye right. Playing ‘Simply the Best’ knowing the wording inserted. etc. etc.

The team and backroom staff were literally filmed signing f@ck the Pope. It’s endemic from the very top to the bottom. Buzzword statements mean absolutely nothing! Not even a pretend threat of action in the club’s statement earlier. They don’t care. Open your eyes!
