A small group of Rangers fans had to be booted from Glasgow's Pavilion Theatre after branding bar staff "fenian b******s' for not serving drinks quickly enough.

The three people, who were at the 'Rally Roon the Rangers' show, had to be escorted from the premises after the shocking outburst.

Pavilion bosses have been quick to hit out at such behaviour during what they describe as an "isolated incident".

We previously told how members of audience were filmed singing "f**k the Pope and the IRA' during the stage show on Saturday, July 27.

It has now emerged that during the same performance, a small group of fans vented their frustration with bar staff for not serving drinks quickly enough and shouted sectarian slur 'fenian b******s' at them.

Theatre boss Iain Gordon confirmed that the incident took place during the show - but stressed that it was a one-off occurance.

He said: "Two female barmaids were called fenian b******s at the Saturday night show.

"The three people involved were escorted from the building.

"This was an isolated incident".

Iain Gordon told the Record there has been no trouble at any other show, adding many audience members have expressed their disgust at the reported actions.

Steps have now been taken to warn audience members not to engage in any sectarian singing, including sending an email to everyone due to attend upcoming shows.

Leaflets are also being handed out at every shows to reiterate the anti-bigotry message.

The leaflet reads: “When we set out to do this production, like other football shows we do, it was important that there was no sectarian or bigoted content and we have geared the comedy and songs on what would be acceptable at a football match and hopefully we have stayed well within these parameters.

“We would like to ask you for your support and help at this performance and refrain from any singing or using bigoted language not fit for this day and age.

“Unfortunately, if sectarian singing or continual bigoted language does occur, there is a possibility that the show will be halted.

“We know that is is a very small minority who get involved in these activities and hope you can appreciate our reasoning behind this in our bid to keep both our name and the reputation of good Rangers fans.”

The show stars wrestler Grado and River City actor Stephen Purdon and has been on in the City Centre theatre since July 24.
