Rangers fans group the Union Bears have staged a protest outside of the offices of now SNP health minister Humza Yousaf.
This comes in the aftermath of Rangers players having been found guilty of no wrongdoing amid patently false accusations of sectarianism which were alluded to by individuals including the ex-justice minister.
A banner unfurled outside of Yousaf’s Glasgow Pollok constituency office reads “one Scotland many cultures apart from Rangers”.
Yousaf took to Twitter after a seemingly doctored video appeared online which claimed the Gers team had shouted a sectarian add-on to the song Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.
Yousaf demanded that players should be “shown the door” if found guilty despite the fact the case was live, something many feel is irresponsible given his parliamentary position.
Rangers were delighted to hear the police investigation had been concluded in favour of the players and announced that they have “initiated legal proceedings” against certain individuals.
“Rangers welcomes the outcome of the Police Scotland investigation into a video involving some of our players and staff,” said Yousaf [Rangers].
“Whilst we were confident that no criminality took place, we recognised that we had a duty to assist Police. Furthermore, given some of the attempts to spread false narratives, we had to protect the reputation of individuals involved.
“This is a stark reminder to those in senior positions within society who should be cognisant of their influence, responsibility and the consequences of their actions on others.
“We can confirm that we have initiated legal proceedings against certain individuals for comments made this week.”
According to the Times, SNP MSP Yousaf is believed to be amongst those who Rangers are looking to bring proceedings against.
The situation continues to frustrate but one group of individuals have been turned into pawns in a murky political game.
