The Ibrox icon was outraged after chants were heard by a section of the travelling fans at Villa Park
Rangers legend Graeme Souness has slammed Celtic fans for mocking the death of the late Queen in front of her grandson Prince William during the midweek Champions League game a Aston Villa.
Souness said: “We have sections of a support, I won't give them the courtesy of naming their club, effectively rejoicing over the death of the late Queen of England in front of her grandson. Brilliant, they must be really proud of themselves. In what warped walk of society is that thought acceptable? Is this what British football support or indeed Britain has become?”
“Of course it's not. Is it disrespectful? Yeah. Are the things they say disrespectful, yeah, but it's their view. I think it's distasteful to say those sorts of things. "But I don't sit there and listen to the Celtic fans and think you have anything to say that is of any relevance. You can disagree with something fundamentally without having to be disrespectful, and to talk about the death of a monarch and the challenges of that family in the way they do - I think it indicates a certain mindset.”
