Sick Facebook Page mocks the Ibrox Disaster 1971

Sick Aberdeen and Celtic fans are mocking those who died in the Ibrox Disaster in 1971 on Social Network site Facebook. The page titled, ‘The Awkward Moment when Colin Stein scores and Everyone Falls down the Stairs’ has just over 200 ‘likes’ already, with its profile picture showing the mangled wreckage of the railings of Stairway 13.

The Page, which has already been reported to Facebook, mocks the second Ibrox Disaster on 2nd January 1971, when 66 fans were killed – many of whom were children and over 200 fans were injured.

There have been numerous comments from fans of both Celtic and Rangers venting their disgust at the creators of the page.

One sickened fan stated: “This is a disgrace! Whoever made this is needing shot!

While another said: “This is disgusting, imagine actually trying to joke about something like this.”

Despite widespread condemnation of the page, there were some who openly stated that the page was funny. Aberdeen fan Matt McGillivray mocked: “I must admit it is funny to see Govans finest come out too bemoan this page. Yet their ground is the number one hotspot for all kinds of bile.”

Fellow Dons fan Ross Gibson, who works for Alexander Duthie & Sons Ltd as a plumber, laughed: “They all fell down the stairs. The Rangers end was empty. They all fell down the stairs! Hahaha. Stand free.”

While Celtic fan Daniel McGlinchey stated: “Sick, but funny. Watch the stairs there lads.”

And fellow Celtic fan Mark Lynch implied that the page was not breaking any laws: “I don’t agree with this page, but to be honest theres nothing sectarian in it so what you all going on about??”

Celtic’s Greatest Ever Manager Jock Stein helped lift the injured and dying from the terraces that infamous day, with that haunting black and white image of Stein on the sidelines lifting a Rangers fan onto the pitch.

This year was the 40th anniversary of the disaster, with a minute’s silence held before the Old Firm derby on the 2nd January to commemorate those who died, with both teams wearing black armbands and led out by legendary Old Firm captains John Greig and Billy McNeill.

Both Celtic and Rangers have yet to comment.

Disgusting but in my experience Facebook are a joke when it comes to dealing with complaints which I is why I no longer have an account with them.

This Daniel McGlinchey fella is obviously the epitome of 'sick'

Crazy that people would say such things under their real names, they obviously don't care.
