Former Scotland and Celtic striker Frank McAvennie said in an exclusive interview with Football Insider that supporters should โbe happyโ with their teamโs status and refrain from acting in such an impolite manner on the stands.
Hibs announced in a statement that they would lower the number of tickets available for away fans, citing โabhorrent behaviourโ at the Easter Road match and other games, adding that โeveryone should be able to feel safe and comfortable attending.โ
The event was the most recent in a string of incidents involving the attendance of away supporters at Scottish football matches. In December, Celtic refused to let Rangers supporters into Parkhead for their Old Firm match.
It was โnot rightโ what the Rangers supporters were doing at Easter Road.
Although McAvennie was quick to point out that similar issues are present in both the Celtics crowd and the football community as a whole, he was disappointed to see the problem resurface.
He said to Football Insider, โWeโre talking about fans swearing and chanting things in the stadium, but you can hear it through the TV too.โ
โI wonโt make fun of Rangers fans since other fans including Celtic fans also do that.
โSome of the things they do, in my opinion, are just horrible.โ
