Stuart MacLennan was initially supported by his friend the Scotland Secretary Jim Murphy, as the evidence came out and the chorus calling for his sacking grew louder he confided to friends that he was going to resign. When the Labour Party learnt of his intention, and only then, did they decide to sack him.

One  of MacLennan’s tweets bragged: Tonight @ross_macrae taught me the various different versions of “We will follow Rangers”. For those of you not familiar with the tune as sung on the terraces, here it is:

Follow follow, we will follow Rangers,
Everywhere, anywhere,
We will follow on,
To Dundee, Hamilton, F**k the Pope and the Vatican

Ross Macrae (circled on the left, Stuart MacLennan on the right), works for Ken Macintosh MSP, he has now also deleted his Twitter account. He is pictured here with fellow twitterer, and follower, Sarah Brown. So she will have seen all the tweets from MacLennan and Macrae sent to her Twitter account.  Funny how she has raised no objection to their foul twitters.  Bear in mind she chose to follow them.

Scottish Catholic voters will be particularly outraged by some of his Rangers Old Firm bigotry…
