Footballer calls for racism clamp down as he and twin brother abused with vile slurs on pitch

A Dumbarton footballer has called on the sport’s authorities to clamp down on racism after he and his twin brother were subjected to taunts and chants whilst playing.

Chris Jackson, 34, and brother Shane - who play for West of Scotland League side Irvine Victoria - say they have been targeted with sickening abuse twice in the last month while on the pitch.

The brothers, who are half Filipino, allege that they have been subject to vile slurs from the terraces – and an opponent – in games against Lanark United and Port Glasgow.
