The message said “Haha 66” in reference to the 66 people that were killed in 1971 in a crush at the conclusion of an Old Firm game.

It was initially thought that a late Colin Stein goal had led to the disaster, though this version of events was later proved to be false.

Football fans have quickly condemned the twisted message which comes a week after the inquest into the Hillsborough disaster was concluded.

Rangers have yet to comment on the message as work is underway to remove it from the wall.
