Anger over McGuinness hell banner

- STEPHEN STEWART reporters@dailyrecor­d.co.uk

AN OBSCENE banner mocking the death of Martin McGuinness sparked fury after it was draped on a motorway bridge near Glasgow yesterday.

The poster, which said “Martin McGuinness s **** c **** in hell”, was stuck to an overpass on the M8 near Bailliesto­n as Celtic and Rangers met in the Scottish Cup at Hampden Park.

Another two posters had the words “No Surrender Rangers FC” and “Bailliesto­n True Blues” spraypaint­ed on them.

McGuinness, the former IRA commander who became Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister, died last month from a heart condition.

The banner sparked outrage. Paul Brown wrote on social media: “And the bile begins.” Kevin McManus added: “Horrendous.”
