The Rangers celebrations showed the Protestant Shankill’s disregard for the Protestant faith

While most of the criticism over celebrations by some Rangers fans has centred around Covid, we would highlight another area of concern.

Fans came out on to the streets on the Lord’s Day.

The Protestant Shankill showed once again its blatant disregard for the Protestant faith.

It’s a reminder that we are surrounded by a secular version of Protestantism which has no respect whatever for God’s Word or God’s Day.

Many will be pleased that Rangers have won the league title, but we need to get our priorities right.
