Scots sports producer 'in tears' after racist abuse at Ibrox and Rangers pub. Bobby Nwanze, 32, went to cheer on the Gers at their Scottish Cup tie with Stirling Albion on Friday January 21 - but was forced to leave after being abused by a fellow supporter in the stands.
Upset by the abuse, Bobby and his friends left Ibrox and walked to a supporters bar around the corner from the stadium to watch the second half of the match,
which Rangers won 4-0
.
However, shortly after arriving Bobby claims he was targeted with racist abuse again, with punters calling him the name of the Gers forward Fashion Sakala.
He continued: "When we walked in it was as if everyone had stopped to stare at me walking to the bar - it was weird.
"We ordered some drinks and just took ourselves to a quiet corner to watch the rest of the game. That is when a middle aged man approached me.
"He said: 'You are black, what does Fashion Sakala mean?'
"My friend asked what he said and when I repeated it they were absolutely astounded. He then continued calling me Fashion Sakala, even though I asked him to leave me alone to watch the game.
Fans often sing a chant about Sakala to the tune of Shakira tune Waka Waka - and tormented Bobby with the song as he and his friends tried to watch the game.
"He was sitting with a group of 20-30 mates and they all started singing the Fashion Sakala song at me", he continued.
"I do not mind banter but my race is not a joke for other people's amusement.
"The guy then sat next to me again and started to touch my arms whilst saying, 'You're a big boy eh, you're always big.'
"He continued to bother me before I was stern and said to leave me alone. At that point he told me I shouldn't be there.
Bobby said that he was left in tears in the car when returning from Glasgow, and that the incident had put him off from returning to Ibrox but that he would do so, as he did not want to empower racists.
