True Colors


Once again fans, of that other team in Scotland, have shown their true colors, by chanting the so-called 'Famine song', at the game against Celtic on Sunday.

"The song, which includes the line "The famine's over, why don't you go home," was heard during Sunday's 0-0 draw. It refers to events that killed an estimated one million people in the 1840s and led to a mass migration from Ireland and has drawn condemnation from the chairmen of both clubs, Sir David Murray of Rangers, and Celtic's Dr John Reid"(BBC, 2009).

In some countries, singing this type of song would lead to mass demonstrations, fatwas, and denouncements from governments about the 'Nazi-like' nature of these amadans. So are the SPL going to keep their word,fine the team, or deduct points?
