What will stewards do if Rangers fans sing sectarian songs?

When they do, I think fans should complain but will stewards just say its "a police matter" and when you complain to the police they always just say its a "for the stewards to deal with" and nothing happens.
We all deserve the right to watch football without Celtic & Rangers fans bellowing out sectarian hatred. Many Accies season ticket holders wont take their kids to games because of this. Especially when they turn up in the home end.

Wouldn't it be good if the club didn't cave into them and ejected every single one of them?

I wish the referees could make a stand and abandon games if sectarian singing is heard. By clubs losing points they would soon sort out their supporters rather than sweep it under the carpet.

The bile that they spout is one thing. Spouting the bile whilst in amongst us home fans is something completely different.

I said it after last February’s game when one of their fans (who had infiltrated the home end) threatened to decaptitate a mate of mine after the moron and his mates celebrated wildly when sevco scored. My mate, like me, is a season ticket holder and we shouldn’t have to put up with it. One day someone will get hurt and I really hope that it isn’t tomorrow.

I agree, but they don't to anything. The club should be leading from the front. We take pride in being religion neutral and welcoming to everybody (except bigots) and with the amount the clubs pay for policing I expect the police to do their jobs. The BoD should be asking the police to back them up by ejecting those singing sectarian songs.
Everyone in society has to do their bit rather than sweep it under the carpet, indulge in whatabouttery or blaming faith schools like Chick Young did. Funny how many Accies fans went to different schools yet aren't bigoted.

I have nothing but praise for Stevie Clarke and I hope its a watershed moment. People in other countries must be laughing at us.

Why should the club spend a fortume employing them then. They are paid to do a job and should do it properly.

Didn’t see any issues today where i was next to the director’s box, other than morons in hospitality banging their neanderthal heads against the glass.

Any bother anywhere else?

As Jim Spence quite rightly pointed out on BBC Sportsound yesterday re bigotry,you can't educate them if they have no brain to educate.

Amen to that.
