AN offensive banner at yesterday's Rangers v Aberdeen match at Ibrox has sparked a police investigation.
It is understood that during the game, fans in the away section of the stadium were seen holding up a banner bearing the message "Kill All Huns".
The word Hun - which refers to Protestants - is used by some as an offensive slur against Rangers fans.
Cops have now confirmed that they are aware of an incident involving a banner and that enquiries are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers were made aware of a report of a banner held up at a Rangers/Aberdeen football match around 4.15pm on Saturday, October 29 2022.
"Enquiries are ongoing.”
Rangers and Aberdeen have been contacted for comment.
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!
