If you listen closely you can hear Celtic fans singing “Ooh ah, up the RA!” (based on the SAM Song, I guess) near the end of this clip.

NOTE: It’s not to be confused with the similar, but harmless “Ooh ah, Samaras!” chant, which was also heard at Tannadice on Sunday.

The republican chanting didn’t do the away side any favours though, as Dundee Utd went on to claim a famous 2-1 home win, thanks to a last-gasp header by Darren Dods.

Whether it’s provocative chants by Celtic or Rangers fans – or fans of any club, for that matter – there is no place in sport for sectarian stuff like this. I have no allegiance to either side, but let’s keep it out of football, please.
