Prolife of the middle-aged Ibrox fan arrested for attack on Celtic employee

Marc Spence was arrested on Sunday at Ibrox for an incident involving Celtic employees.

There is footage of the incident across social media.

Spence is a 47-year-old man. Not an ultra, not in the Union Bears, he wasn’t wearing a mask or seated in the Copland Road Stand.

The main issue in The Sun is that he has been axed from his coaching role with the Glenbuck 2016s.

Someone that spends time coaching 10-year-olds felt so angry that he left his seat at Ibrox to get on the pitch to commit an act that has resulted in his arrest.

On these sort of issues social media comes into its own.

People know Spence. Others can check over his social media accounts.

There are some interesting claims about his wife’s job. Some are suggesting that he is related to a former Rangers player.

While most of the Scottish media wish to pin Sunday’s events on young ultras that is clearly not the case.

Spence is Exhibit A.

SCOTLAND’S SHAME DOMINATES IBROX

Blaming those pesky ultras is very convenient.

Commercial publishers issue content for their audience to entice advertisers.

BBC Scotland should be above that, it has no commercial considerations.

The only audience that they have to address are those paying £13/month for the state broadcaster.

Some facts about Sunday would help portray an accurate picture.

Starting with the add-ons from three stands at Ibrox as the club restored the full version of The Best by Tina Turner over the PA system.

To identifying that only Celtic players and employees were attacked on the pitch.

Onto flares and bottles being thrown into the Broomloan Stand by pitch invaders.

And the BBC could help identify those on the pitch that attacked stewards and Police Officers.

But like Dougie Donnelly and the ‘nothing to see here’ VAR highlights on Sportscene, BBC Scotland won’t go near real issues.
