Partick Thistle Fan Claims He Was Ejected From Ibrox For Holding ‘Scotland Flag’

A Partick Thistle fan claims he was ejected from Ibrox today for holding a ‘Scotland flag’.

Manpreet Singh is a regular at Jags home and away games and often documents his experience supporting the team.

He was Ibrox this afternoon to watch Rangers against Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership, but tweeted shortly before full-time that he had been ejected for ‘having a Scotland flag’:

Getting kicked oot at the 65th minute for having a Scotland flag at Ibrox, sums them up, scumbags — Manpreet ???? (@manpreet_ptfc) November 4, 2017

But he soon posted a follow-up tweet that showed him holding the flag alongside another supporter who has a Catalonia flag in his hands.

From the look of the Scotland flag, there seems to be some writing on it, but it’s obviously not clear what exactly it says on it:

Several other fans at the game noticed what happened and tweeted their own account of the situation:

hahahahahha two Thistle kicked out Ibrox for waving a saltire, stewards there are ragin huns — lima (@loganptfc) November 4, 2017

Stewards have a hard job, but what just happened at Ibrox is absolute disgrace. — Callum (@caltyler_) November 4, 2017

Manpreet started flying a Scotland flag. Stewards go flying in. Police stand aside. Cue chaos on the concourse. I left after that, disgusted — Callum (@caltyler_) November 4, 2017

From the flag in the seen in the tweet from Lynne Cumming above, it looks like the flag may have the word ‘Yes’ on it.

UPDATE

A video of the incident has now surfaced:
