Angry Ginge Issued Public Apology Over ‘Offensive’ SPFL Chant
I’m A Celeb star faces backlash after Glasgow Derby clip goes viral

Social media influencer and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant, Angry Ginge, has publicly apologised after a video surfaced showing him chanting what many have described as an “offensive and inappropriate” song linked to the SPFL during the heated Glasgow Derby between Celtic and Rangers.

The footage, which circulated widely on X and TikTok within hours of the match, appeared to show the well-known Celtic-supporting creator passionately chanting alongside a group of fans outside the stadium. While some supporters laughed it off as “typical derby banter”, others strongly condemned it, calling the lyrics

In a statement posted on social media, Angry Ginge expressed regret:

“I let the atmosphere get the better of me. I love football and I love Celtic, but I never want to be part of anything that causes offence or divides people further. I apologise to anyone hurt by what I said — it won’t happen again.”

The influencer also stressed that it was never his intention to bring negative attention to Celtic or their fanbase.

Mixed Reactions

The apology has received mixed feedback:

Some fans praised him for “manning up and admitting wrong”.

Others felt the criticism was blown out of proportion, insisting derby chants have always been extreme.

A section of Rangers fans suggested the apology came “only because cameras caught him”.

Club and SPFL Yet to Comment

Neither Celtic FC nor the SPFL has released an official statement, though football analysts believe the governing body may review the incident based on the league’s ongoing effort to clamp down on offensive chanting and sectarian behaviour.

With tensions in Scottish football always running high, this latest situation reignites the long debate around fan culture, rivalry boundaries, and personal responsibility in the era of viral content.

What Happens Next?

Sources close to the influencer claim he is willing to get involved in an anti-hate or community unity campaign following the backlash — a move supporters say could help “turn a mistake into something positive”.
