Sky Sports issue apology after anti-Royal Family chants and banners at St Mirren vs Celtic

Sky Sports apologised to viewers after chants were heard during a minute's silence for the Queen at a Scottish Premiership fixture.

Anti-monarchy songs were heard during the game between St Mirren and Celtic at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday afternoon. A section of Celtic supporters held up a banner that read: "If you hate the Royal family clap your hands" - with a similar chant following.

The fixture was televised on Sky Sports and commentator Ian Crocker apologised to anyone who might have been offended by the chants. He said: "Apologies if you were offended by anything you might have heard. Most people showed respect some did not."
