Graham Spiers has highlighted the songs of hate at Hampden yesterday and flagged up the silent role played at Ibrox by Stewart Robertson.
Titled and salaried as Managing Director, Robbo knows his place and is very much the support act to PR Supremo David Graham, a former DUP councillor.
Last years incidents at George Square appear to have quietly airbrushed away, partly helped by the decisions taken by BBC Scotland, STV and Sky News not to send camera crews to incidents happening literally on their doorstep.
Today’s focus seems to be on a group of fans singing ant-Catholic songs and jostling with Police Officers before the match as they were escorted to their turnstiles.
During the second half more than 10,000 fans were heard clearly on Premier Sports and Radio Scotland singing their fantasy about being knee deep in Catholic blood.
More than 24 hours after the match there has been no comment by the SFA on the incidents broadcast from inside Hampden Park.
Can there be any escaping this stuff by Rangers? Is it just part of the permanent baggage to be borne by the club?
You’d expect MD Stewart Robertson to speak out clearly and swiftly on the issue – to show leadership.

I thought Rangers were terrific today at Hampden: strong, skilful, carrying threat. I hear debate about ref Bobby Madden but this was a deserved win.
Off the pitch…my God, this Rangers songbook. How the hell do we drag these people into the 21st century? Embarrassing.

Why do you keep applauding this guy?
“I hear debate about ref…” You mean he couldn’t see the cheating for himself.
Thompson, Spiers and English are the worst as they should know better.
The sectarian singing should be reported to UEFA. Clearly the authorities in Scotland have no intention of taking the rancid mob on due to threats, intimidation, and of course collusion.
After the riot in the 2016 final the official line was it is better to sing the billy boys than invade the field .scotlands media shame and the authorities just accepted it. Corrupt to the core.
