Celtic fans blast fellow supporters who hanged sex dolls wearing Rangers scarves on Suicide Prevention Day
The vile stunt saw two of the blow-up toys dangling from a stand during the Old Firm derby
SICKENED Celtic fans have called for supporters who hanged sex dolls wearing Rangers scarves at the Old Firm clash to be named and shamed.
The vile stunt — which happened on Suicide Prevention Day — saw two of the blow-up toys dangling from the Jock Stein Stand.
Supporters from both sides hit out after shocking snaps of the dolls emerged following the Ibrox club’s 5-1 drubbing at Parkhead.
Disgusted Hoops fans led calls for action against the minority of yobs behind the twisted prank.
Francis MacLeod tweeted: “I’m disgusted. Absolutely unacceptable, and not how I want to be represented as a Celtic fan.”
And fan Jackie Mcnicol blasted: “An absolute disgrace. Name and shame the individuals.”
CJ Payne wroted: “The blow-up dolls at Celtic Park yesterday were in such bad taste.”
Rangers supporters shared the disturbing image of the hanged dolls with their hands tied behind their back on social media.
One was wearing a Light Blues scarf while the other appeared to be dressed in an orange version.
They were dangled in front of a banner which read: “This is it Bhoys, this is war.”
Another slogan held up by supporters at the game said: “Know your place Hun scum.”
Some fans suggested the culprits used the effigies to mock the fact Rangers “died” as a club when they were liquidated in 2012.
Others hinted it was linked to the suicide of former Gers striker Kris Boyd’s brother’s Scott, 27, last week — but Bhoys insiders insisted that was not the case.

Fan page Celtic Underground tweeted: “I’m sadly never surprised to see we have scumbags in the Celtic end the same as any other club.
"This is unacceptable. Whether or not directed at anything in particular, the lack of sensitivity is a disgrace.”
Craig Houston, of Rangers supporters’ group Sons of Struth, revealed he had been contacted by Celtic fans who were appalled by the stunt.
He said: “A lot of Rangers fans have contacted me to say how angry they are. But even some Celtic fans are equally as disgusted as I am.
“It shouldn’t be acceptable in 2016 to hang effigies off a stadium in Scotland — regardless of the intention behind it.”
Craig also believes there was a more sinister side to the prank.
He added: “I don’t believe the effigies were of our club.
“I believe they were effigies of our fans. They’re hanging in front of a banner saying, ‘This is it Bhoys. This is war’.
“I believe they were saying that this is what should happen to Rangers fans.”
He added: “I hope their club take action. Celtic’s CCTV will show them who hanged them I’d be surprised if they weren’t able to identify them from their seats.”
Celtic declined to comment last night.
But a source said: “There’s no way this will have anything to do with Kris’s tragic situation.
"There were a lot of songs about ‘You’re not Rangers any more’ and stuff like that, and that’s what it will have been about.”
Ibrox chiefs condemned the louts and called on cops to track them down. A spokesman said: “Hopefully attempts will be made by Police Scotland to find those responsible for this disgraceful and sickening display.
“It was a vile and insensitive stunt which, understandably, has attracted widespread condemnation.
This was a new low but there were other unacceptable images which were also deeply offensive to Rangers supporters.
“They were clear for everyone, including the authorities, to see.”
Police said they had not received any complaints about the display.
But a spokeswoman warned: “Officers are monitoring social media and may take action if criminality is established.”
We told yesterday how rampaging Gers thugs destroyed loos at Parkhead after Saturday’s defeat.
Cubicles in the away end were flattened, toilet seats torn off and ceiling frames hauled down.
Cops have not been asked to act and it is understood the clubs will deal with the vandalism.
