Pundit Simon Jordan has backed up Michael Beale's call to Rangers fans to respect the minute's silence in honour of Ron Gordon.
However, he admits that despite the Ibrox boss acting as a "statesman" he can't stop the reaction from fans. The Leith outfit wore black armbands at Livingston on Saturday as they returned to action in the Scottish Premiership for the first time since the US-based businessman's death and plan another celebration of his memory, and will continue their tributes to Gordon at Easter Road on Wednesday with Sunshine on Leith set to play before kick-off with fans invited to take part in a minute's applause.
However, following shameful scenes ahead of the Viaplay Cup final, when large sections of the Rangers support interrupted a similar mark of respect with sectarian chants, Beale has urged fans to be respectful of the tribute. Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan discussed the demand from Beale with host Jim White he admitted the boss was ultimately powerless to stop the reaction from fans pre-match.
