FOOTBALL fans have reacted with disgust to graffiti at Rangers’ stadium mocking victims of the Ibrox disaster.

Sixty-six people were killed in 1971 when a crush among the crowd at an Old Firm game ended in tragedy.

And yesterday a sick message scrawled onto a wall at the stadium’s Copland Road said: “Haha 66”.

A photograph of the graffiti sparked outrage on social media.

Lee Cochrane said: “Some vile human being has actually graffitied ‘haha 66’ at the stairs where the Ibrox disaster happened. What is wrong with people?!”

Another added: “A week after Hillsborough verdict and #JFT96 we have this image from Glasgow mocking the #Ibrox disaster. Morons.”

A Rangers spokesperson confirmed that police are aware of the incident.

They said: “The club is disgusted and disappointed that individuals would tarnish the memory of the 66 football fans who lost their lives in the Ibrox Disaster.

“This incident has been reported to Police Scotland and the offending material has been removed.

“The club is currently reviewing CCTV footage and will assist Police Scotland with their enquiries.”

One Rangers supporters' Twitter account posted a pic of the graffiti alongside an image from Liverpool at the weekend where Everton fans paid tribute to the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster.
