Changes

I have edited the paragraph to add some less known early black footballers in Scotland, one at Hearts, and Walter Tull who signed for Rangers so was technically a Rangers player although he never appeared on the team due to the outbreak of WW1. I also removed the last part as it said Rangers banned their own fans (plural) but the citation states only one fan was given a lifetime ban. Furthermore the phrasing gives a false impression it was the Rangers support who made the racist display, in actual fact it was the celtic support, although no celtic fans were banned by the club. 109.155.136.144 (talk) 20:16, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The source cited says that: "The Glasgow club banned some season ticket holders following racist abuse aimed at Walters". That suggests it was more than one. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:23, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The other source says there was only one supporter banned. You historic revisionists need to get your propaganda sorted! 109.155.136.144 (talk) 20:46, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a revisionist. I know nothing about the incident, I was just going by the source that was provided! Cordless Larry (talk) 20:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about Black Scots BEFORE Whites Came into the Area?

Blacks have been in Scotland before whites came into the area. Don't act like they are from slaves or recent immigrants.
