Following England’s 3-1 win over Scotland on Tuesday night, manager Roy Hodgson hit out at England supporters following offensive singing throughout the game at Celtic Park.

During the first half, England supporters on several occasions belted out anti-IRA chants and were accompanied by the official England supporters’ band — who were warned at half time by an FA official.

The 5,000 away supporters targeted Gordon Strachan as well as the home supporters with other ditties, which at times bordered on racism but was clearly anti-Scottish.

Hodgson, in his post-match press conference, said: “I didn’t have a clue what they were chanting. If anyone was offended, I’m sure the FA would like to apologise to them.

“I don’t condone it. Hopefully they will behave themselves and not get themselves into a situation where their chanting is being criticised.”

Police Scotland confirmed that there was no football-related disorder after the full time whistle and that they had not received any reports of offensive chanting.
