A 12-year-old boy has been charged in relation to alleged racist chants directed at a Rangers player in the game against Celtic at Celtic Park on December 29.
Superintendent Mark Sutherland, of Greater Glasgow Division, said: "Abuse of any form is completely unacceptable and Police Scotland will continue to rigorously investigate any reports of abuse we receive and bring those responsible before the relevant authorities.
"We'd remind the public that, as the person charged is below the age of 18, he cannot be named or identified for legal reasons as per the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995."

No need to charge him. Just arrest his Xbox or Playstation for like a year or two. [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

I know that rivalries can get out of hand and the old firm is definitely one of them. But nothing should end up as racism. Racism is disgraceful. And a 12 year old boy!! He is just imitating his parents so they are really at fault. But he should know that everyone is equal no matter what race , gender, religion and colour.
