Sick Celtic fan who was spotted mocking Ibrox Disaster against Rangers SACKED from job
A VILE Celtic fan seen mocking the Ibrox disaster during Sunday’s Old Firm match has been sacked from his high-flying job. Police have also launched an investigation into the actions of Darren Malloch who was filmed mocking the deaths of 66 Rangers fans who died after a stairway crush in 1971. Darren Malloch was caught mocking the victims of the Ibrox Disaster Malloch has been dismissed from his construction job The 35-year-old, from the Glasgow area, is a project manager with Advance Construction Scotland who have since announced his employment has been terminated in the wake of the shameful images of their employee. A statement read: “We can confirm that an individual has been dismissed from our employment, following an incident involving completely unacceptable behaviour at the recent Rangers v Celtic football match. “As a company, we hold all employees to the highest standards of conduct, both inside and outside the workplace. “In line with our disciplinary procedures, we will not tolerate or condone this behaviour. “We believe that Police Scotland is also investigating this incident, and therefore, we are unable to make any further comment on the matter.” Footage from the 1-1 draw between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox showed Mr Malloch holding up his mobile phone towards opposition fans with the number 66 clearly visible on the handset. That is the number of Gers supporters who lost their lives in the Ibrox disaster after a stairway crush at an Old Firm game on January 2, 1971. The warped fan can then be seen putting his phone away before showing the number six twice with his fingers – another reference to 66 deaths – and mimicking falling over with his hands. In a further sad twist, a child can be seen copying Malloch’s gestures. Malloch was a highly respected project manager for Advance Construction Scotland. But after his image was shared widely on social media, the company dismissed him within hours following a string of complaints. Police Scotland also confirmed they were looking at the footage. A spokesperson said: “We are aware of the incident and enquiries are ongoing.” Celtic were approached for comment on whether they would ban Malloch for Celtic Park for life. The club said: “We will investigate fully and take any appropriate action.” Multiple attempts were made to reach Malloch himself for comment Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
