TWITTER users have blasted a disturbing online video showing a young boy chanting a sectarian song about Rangers kit controller Jimmy Bell.
The minute-long clip shows the boy on a stage with a mic singing to a room full of Celtic fans who cheer him on and join in with the song.
The vile chant contains the lyrics “orange b*****d” and “I hope he dies.”
