A 30-year-old and 26-year-old have been charged with an alleged hate crime after the police reviewed footage from the weekend.
The Rangers supporters bus was on its way to Dingwall for the Ross County game when they decided to break out into vile, racist chanting and gestures in front of a camera – posting the footage to social media.
It went viral and earlier this week the fans in question were banned indefinitely from Ibrox. Celtic also condemned the mindless abuse.
Kyogo has only been in the country over a month and to see the hatred aimed towards him for simply being a Celtic player is despicable.
The young lad is trying to make his way in the game and did not deserve the type of abuse seen in the clips.
The police are not done with their investigation and want to identify more on the bus who were caught being vile.
Enquiries are continuing to identify others involved and anyone with information is asked to get in touch with Police Scotland via 101, or by making a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
