By this they mean the Famine Song which is about the Irish potato famine of the 1840s and includes the line “The famine is over, why don’t you go home?”
George Peat, the SFA’s president, is talking with the SPL and the police.
Uefa have already punished Rangers for the supporters’ “poor conduct” at Villarreal.
