Rangers Security Chiefs Accusations Towards United Fans....

[Shed Boy]

....Accusing Dundee United fans of singing sectarian songs at Ibrox on Saturday live on BBC Radio Scotland, giving us bad press then absolutely no apology whatsoever for broadcasting these unsubstantiated lies live on radio.

The fact that this person thinks he can pinpoint 300 people at the other end of a 50,000 crowd as singing certain songs is beyond me.

Lets see how well behaved the Rangers supporters are when they come to Tannadice and such places as it's always been the away crowd that has been the problem, i'm sure there will be as many billy boys renditions as there always is.

I am ******* raging here by the way incae you can't tell, dragging our name into the mud and into the place you are trying to get away from.

Dundee United chairman Eddie Thompson claims that Rangers' chief executive has apologised to him for claims that his club's fans sang sectarian songs. Rangers security chief Laurence McIntyre had been speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's "Your Call" programme on Saturday night after the draw at Ibrox.

"Peace has now broken out," Thompson told BBC Sport.

"I had a long chat with Martin Bain last night and he apologised. Our songs are nothing to do with religion."

Rangers have urged their fans to cease singing "Billy Boys" after a fine and warnings from Uefa that it was sectarian.

However, United fans sing a song of their own to the same tune.

"The gentleman concerned just went a bit too far," said Thompson.

"Perhaps it wouldn't have happened if he had had a chance to discuss it first of all.

"If he'd only come and asked me, I'd have explained the words of our songs are nothing to do with religion, nothing to do with sectarianism, so we could have clarified all that.

"We've had quite a lot of complaints from United fans and a lot of support, incredibly, in from other provincial clubs."
