Father and son shouted sectarian abuse at woman after she defended referee

A woman suffered sectarian abuse after she pulled up a father and son who abused referee Willie Collum. Marna Ferguson was called a "fenian" by Robert and Alastair Kirkwood at Ibrox Stadium on February 6, 2022.

Mr Collum officiated as Rangers faced Hearts in a match that the hosts would go on to win 5-0. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the pair were part of a group of Rangers fans chanting "Who's the fenian in the black?" at Mr Collum.

Miss Ferguson - who was with her 15-year-old daughter - told the duo who are season ticket holders to "mind their language". Both men - aged 59 and 31 - took offence to being challenged and called Miss Ferguson a "f***ing fenian" and a "fenian b******."
