All the effing and jeffing is stuff you'd hear at any ground to any player. What's the relevance of the "We are the people" comment?I believe it relates to the word 'fenian'. Can't say the word bothers me too much, but it's clearly abuse of a player based on his background.'We are the People' is a Rangers/bigot thing.

Does McGinn even have a connection with Celtic? We bought him from Hibs, right? I know Hibs/Hearts is a similar dynamic, but it's not like SJM is Neil Lennon or Martin McGuinness. I've always thought of him as just Scottish.
Quite. And, while I dislike the club, credit to Chelsea for denouncing it so quickly with no whataboutery. When their cousins north of the border sing songs including that word, at virtually every match, "Rangers" either pretend it didn't happen or claim that they are somehow being victimised.
These days, if you say you're up to your knees in Fenian blood, they throw you in jail.
