A top-flight club made a blunder about racist language on a sign at their ground.

An eagle-eyed fan of a visiting club spotted it at Ross County’s 6,500-capacity Global Energy Stadium.

They lost 1-0 on Saturday (5 Apr) to Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership.

The code of conduct reads, ‘The following behaviour is not acceptable within the stadium.

“To refrain from any racist language or behaviour.”

The wording of the rules awkwardly states that it is not acceptable not to use racist language at the game, as reported by Need To Know.

The plaque even states that if fans contravene the above, stewards and police are authorised to remove them from the ground.
