More work for Media House after Rangers terrorist chants

Democratic Unionist politicians will no doubt have been dismayed watching television footage of Hearts v Rangers.

Not because, in the absence of Kevin Thomson, Hearts coursed through the visitors’ midfield like a dose of salts – no, this will particularly interest Jimmy Spratt and Gregory Campbell.

As both have been quick to express offence at the conduct of Celtic supporters, they will presumably be contacting Rangers and the SPL to complain about the pro-terrorist singing from the visiting supporters.

The old dirge, A Father’s Advice, rang from the stands. Admittedly, like most Rangers songs, it is primarily offensive to the art of song-writing. Rarely can one group of people have embraced such a repertoire of a-poetical drivel as an expression of their culture.

However, the song is an exhortation to join the YCV, a sectarian paramilitary youth organisation, re-formed by Loyalist killer Gusty Spence as a youth wing of the murderous UVF.

We await the condemnation of this celebration of terrorism from Northern Ireland’s elected representatives.
