As everyone is well aware by now, the Ibrox club has released a highly contentious video today advertising their latest piece of hand-made tat. The contentious part is that they used a certain tune to promote the video; we call it The Famine Song.

They call it something else. We’re supposed to believe that we’re seeing shadows on the wall.

It insults our intelligence. It is a grotesque insult to the whole of Scotland that we should swallow this as something other than what it looks like, and some in the media, the political class and in the civic organisations are not prepared to accept it.

There are some, of course, the shameless sycophants, the charlatans, the moral cowards, who will never speak up or speak out no matter what the Ibrox club does.

If it targets their friends, they will privately offer sympathy but say not a public word.

If it corrupts the game they will tut-tut in the newsrooms but never put their criticism in print where it might get them into trouble.

If it engages in traditional Ibrox behaviour they will pretend it isn’t happening.

Some of them have already chipped in with their defence, and it’s an appalling piece of deflection and denial; this is “just a tune” and it doesn’t necessarily represent what we think it does.

Amazing that they dismissed that argument when we said “it was only booing” over the Kamara thing. The difference is that it was kids in that stadium, not hardened bigots, and they booed everybody. At Ibrox there are oddball characters at every level in the strata, from the stands to the boot room to the boardroom, including the one leading their media and PR team.

He, remember, is a hard-core Ulster loyalist. Their “official media partners” have been condemned for their own proclivities. The club has a history of pandering to the Peepul.

This board boasted about settling scores. On and off the pitch, remember. We’ve seen them pick fights with everyone, over everything, and we’re supposed to believe that they simply overlooked the ghastly connotations of that particular tune?

Let me tell you this, they didn’t overlook anything. They chose it quite deliberately, not caring that it would piss people off. They were counting on it. Their club exists in this permanent state of fury. It is fully immersed in hatred. It is an horrific organisation.

The voices which are saying this is “just a tune” are utterly gutless. The club itself is using them to hide behind; this is ring and run writ large.

Whatever happened to pulling out your guns and sticking to them? They constantly remind the world of who they are and then deny being exactly that. They don’t even have the courage of their despicable convictions, and I would loathe them if they wore them on their sleeves but I would have a modicum of respect for them having the balls to just own it and live up to them.

Let me demolish the argument that this is “just a tune.”

Back in 1929, a minor Nazi functionary and brown-shirt named Horst Wessel was killed in a brawl with Communists. Amongst his personal effects was a song he had written about the SA and the party; it was a street-fighter’s call to arms.

It was taken by Josef Goebbels and the writer elevated to the ranks of party martyr. The Horst Wessel Lied became the Nazi anthem and in 1933 when Hitler came to power it was adopted as the co-anthem of the nation along with Deutschlandlied.

Although Wessel was described as the writer of the song, he actually only wrote the words. The tune precedes the Nazis by a long way. In fact, if you listen to the tune without the lyrics it’s nearly identical to the hymn How Great Thou Art, from which it’s believed to have come.

Here’s where the Sevco argument falls on its arse.

If a church released an advert and overlaid that tune on it, nobody would even blink. Why would they? But if Britain First used it in a party political ad it would be recognised, immediately, as the anthem of the far right and the argument that it was the hymn being used to promote the greatness of God and country would be laughed out of the room.

And even if you didn’t laugh it out of the room, they would be hammered and the ad banned for the sheer tastelessness of it, the sheer insensitivity and the obvious connotation. Not a living soul would accept the argument at face value no matter how much its apologists accused us of being whinging liberals seeing Nazis under the beds.

If Ibrox fans want to accuse us of misrepresenting this, they might want to consider the circumstances and the context.

If they want to know why we reckon that their club is playing to the goon’s gallery, then they should start with the number of goons amongst their fan media who they allow into the press events as “official media partners” instead of gutting those organisations of the lunatic fringe.

If they want to know why they get no benefit of the doubt it’s because their captain and their manager recently did wee cuddle sessions with the black-shirts who marched through Glasgow singing that racist song not that long ago.

Do we believe that their club chose the tune to pander to those people? Yes, we absolutely do because it’s the club’s stated policy to pick fights and insult people wherever and whenever it can. If these questions exist it’s because they were created inside their house.

The Horst Wessel Lied is just a tune too.

The Ibrox operation has no morality. It has no decency. It is reckless, vengeful, bitter and those things make it actively dangerous. Tonight they are, again, at the centre of a civic Scotland backlash and as per usual they are claiming to be the victims.

The only thing that club does better than throwing its weight around is pleading victimhood. Shame on them for this disgraceful ad. We all recognise it for exactly what it is, and not only are they plumbing the gutter but they insult us when they pretend not to be.

    on their hands and say nothing is our club, started by an Irish Priest to feed the homeless, yet now

    rangers 1873- rangers 2021 are the same club? And if my Auntie had a pair of bass she’d be my uncle. HH

  • SSMPM says:

    Spot on Stephen and shame on the Celtic board for their silence. HH

  • James Williamson says:

    The song they claim is being played was apparently written in 2012 a full three years after The Famine Song was defined as racist in Scots Law. Why did the ‘lyricists’ choose this particular choon?

  • T Callan says:

    Excellent articulation of one organisation’s contempt for the supposedly civilised society in which it exists. Equally impressive is the description and explanation of how and why that organisation is allowed to spread such a poisonous influence, unchecked by a compliant Establishment.

  • Peterbbrady says:

    Dirty scum filth vermin does because dirty scum filth vermin are

  • Kathleen Elliott says:

    Well written and to the point,but if anybody thinks calling these scumbags out will make any difference then we are all howling at the moon. They are too entrenched in bigotry and hatred of all things Irish and Catholic to even admit what they are.
