THREE more men have been charged in connection with the singing of racist songs on the day of an Old Firm game.
Footage posted on social media at the weekend appeared to show Rangers fans attended by police on Argyle Street in Glasgow city centre on Sunday chanting an anti-Irish song referencing the famine.
Police said today that three men aged 21, 23, and 26 have been arrested and charged in connection with the alleged singing of racist material.
They were released on an undertaking and are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.
It comes after police said yesterday that three men aged 19, 21 and 24 were arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
The incident happened before Rangers beat Celtic 1-0 at Ibrox.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
