time Scottish football has been giving fans a good show for their money. Proper, enjoyable entertainm­ent.

And it’s all being spoiled by these absolute morons throwing coins, bottles, flares or singing songs that belong in a different time and place. It’s f ****** ridiculous, alright.

I feel sorry too for the decent supporters, the vast majority out there, who just want to support their team and watch a game of football. They must be getting pissed off with it as well as they are getting tarred by the same brush.

I don’t want these guys to have to pay the price by having their stands shut down and not being allowed to go to games all because of the behaviour of a small minority of absolute rockets.

They are certainly not football fans, not in my book.

But at the same time something drastic needs to be done and it needs to be done now because what right-minded parent would want to take their kids into an environmen­t like this? And what do you think is going through the minds of the players right now every time they have to go and take a throw or a corner?

If I was a Rangers player at Easter Road tonight I’d need to think twice before going over to that same area where the bottle was aimed at Sinclair.

I’d probably shout over to one my team-mates, “Here, go and you take that one, I’m on the outswinger­s today!” But, in all seriousnes­s, it’s just not right that
