Rangers vs Celtic – ‘Cowardly morons’ slammed for vile ‘Fenian b*****s’ graffiti before Betfred Cup Final
GRAFFITI yobs who sprayed “Fenian b*****s” near Hampden Park ahead of today’s Betfred Cup Final have been slammed as “cowardly morons”.
The slur was sprayed onto a box near the Glasgow stadium ahead of today's Old Firm clash.
A pic of the graffiti appeared on social media as supporters made their way to Hampden this afternoon ahead of the showcase event.
Nil by Mouth's Dave Scott said: "Graffiti like this is a cowardly way of showing your complete and absolute ignorance.
"Those behind it are morons."

Glasgow City Council confirmed they were sending someone from the graffiti removal team to the scene after it was brought to their attention.
A spokesperson for the local authority said: "We’ve been in touch with our graffiti removal team to organise this being actioned as soon as possible."
The slur was still there as the game kicked off.
It is believed the graffiti is in a car park near Aikenroad Road - the route Celtic fans would have passed while walking to the ground.
It comes after vile sectarian graffiti saying "f**k Huns" appeared at Rangers' training ground.
The slur appeared on a box near the entrance to the Auchenhowie ground in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Images of the graffiti appeared on social media first thing this morning - with Light Blues fans outraged.
Rangers club bosses said that the sectarian behaviour "wouldn't be tolerated".
Ibrox chiefs said they were studying CCTV footage in a bid to catch those responsible.

"Sectarian behaviour, in whichever form it takes, must never be tolerated."
Police Scotland said that they had not been made aware of today's graffiti.
