Alan Brazil sent a no-nonsense message to Rangers supporters to inform them that they were out of order for directing any form of abuse at Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke.
The talkSPORT host admitted that he knew all about life at Glasgow but urged fans to get involved by singing songs as the abuse Clarke shared he received was bang out of order.
Brazil then proceeded to single out the group of Rangers fans who did take part in directing chants at Clarke and directly told them to pack it in.
“I’m a Glasgow boy, I was born and bred up there, I know what it’s all about but you don’t need to come out with rubbish like that at Steve Clarke,” said Brazil on talkSPORT (Thursday February 21st, 8:14am).
“For god’s sake, not now, not in today’s age, you can see your songs and get involved but that abuse Steve Clarke, who is doing a brilliant job, was bang out of order.
“And if you were a part of it, you were out of order and stop it.”
OPINION
Clarke remarked on the level of abuse he got from Gers supporters after Rangers’ defeated Kilmarnock 5-0 on Wednesday, as covered by the BBC, and opened up about how relieved he was that his kids didn’t have to grow up in Scotland as a result. It’s fair to say that Killie manager was well within his right to slam the abuse he got as just like Brazil stated it was bang out of order. It’s a serious issue in Scottish football that does need addressing and it’s no surprise that Brazil was direct with his message on the whole situation. These sort of incidents and revelations bring the whole of Scottish football and give Rangers fans a reputation they shouldn’t be proud of. Hopefully now that Clarke has put the spot light on the level, and type, of abuse that can be heard at games, actions will finally be taken across the board. The whole candid post-match remarks deserve attention and in fairness deserve to overshadow the fact the Gers secured an emphatic win.
