Rangers boss Steven Gerrard confirms his side will NOT take the knee before the Old Firm Derby against Celtic… after Glen Kamara suffered alleged racial abuse in Europa League tie with Slavia Prague
Steven Gerrard has confirmed that his Rangers side will not take the knee before the Old Firm Derby against Celtic this lunchtime.
Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara was subject of alleged racist abuse in the ill-tempered Europa League tie against Slavia Prague on Thursday, with the incident currently under a UEFA investigation, while forward Kemar Roofe was also targeted with alleged racist abuse on social media.
But ahead of kick-off at Celtic Park, Gerrard stated on Sky Sports that the newly-crowned champions would not be taking the knee and would instead be standing ‘side-by-side’ after a discussion between the players.
