A VIDEO showing an apparent Rangers fan hurling vile, racist abuse at young children in Macedonian has been widely-condemned.
The clip shows a man filming himself pointing at several children while repeatedly saying: “Mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake.”

Holding a drink and slurring his speech, he then focuses in on a boy’s dazed and confused face and says: “F*** the P***s.” He also adds: “White power, ya f****** dafty.”
The Snapchat video, widely shared across various social media platforms, has been captioned: “F*** the beggars, white power.”
Football supporters have blasted the user over his “disgusting” actions, with many calling on a lifetime Ibrox ban for the perpetrator.
Rangers Football Club has also reportedly flagged the clip up to Police Scotland.

One angered fan wrote on social media: “That video of the idiot supporter in Macedonia. Genuinely amazed these people exist. Hope the club take his season ticket off the vile, racist c*** and ban him from the stadium.”
Another said: “That wee dribble stain in Macedonia, with his horrendous, racist abuse of those children, shouldn’t be leathered. That’s (maybe unfortunately at times) not how justice works. Someone knows who he is, got to. If possible, season book (?) ripped up with a lifetime ban from Ibrox.”
“Utterly ashamed at that video from Macedonia. Speechless. I’m no racist, bigot or bully, yet I’m sick and tired of having to defend the club because of complete mingers like this in our support. It puts ordinary supporters on trial. Selfish, horrible, nasty wee men,” was another comment.
A spokesman for Rangers Football Club said: “Rangers is an all-inclusive club and will take the appropriate steps.”
“This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and Rangers has been in touch with Police Scotland,” he added, reports the Daily Record.
