The motion

That the Parliament congratulates St Mirren Football Club for issuing a lifetime ban to two supporters caught making racial taunts at opposition players during a Scottish Football League (SFL) Division One fixture at St Mirren Park; recognises that St Mirren’s prompt action highlights that the club is serious about implementing the measures contained within UEFA’s 10 point action plan to combat racism in the sport; hopes that the players and staff of other SFL clubs follow in St Mirren’s footsteps for similar incidents, and welcomes remarks from the manager and chairman that St Mirren Football Club is a family-friendly club and this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.
