Glasgow City Continue Support for Show Racism the Red Card

Glasgow City Continue Support for Show Racism the Red Card

Glasgow City will continue our support of Show Racism the Red Card by being involved in the campaign's Match Actions across Scottish football this weekend when we face Celtic at New Douglas Park.

Show Racism the Red Card, the UK's leading anti-racism charity, use football and its vast and varied communities to provide a unique space to initiate much needed conversations around tolerance, equality, diversity and inclusion. 

We are proud to be involved in the campaign and to play our part in helping football become a more inclusive and diverse space.

Now, more than ever the importance of active anti-racism cannot be overstated.

Billy Singh, Campaign Manager from Show Racism the Red Card in Scotland, said: "Football has always been more than a game. It brings people together across communities, cities, and nations.

"In Scotland, our clubs and our supporters have a proud tradition of passion, loyalty, and pride. But football also has a responsibility: to stand firmly against racism and discrimination, both on and off the pitch.

Recent events show that prejudice and division remain present in society. When voices seek to divide us, football must provide the opposite example – one of unity, respect, and solidarity. The message from our game should be clear: there is no place for racism in our stadiums, in our communities, or in our country.

"Show Racism the Red Card exists because education and action are vital.

"Campaigns like ours provide young people and adults with the tools to recognise racism, challenge it, and replace it with understanding. Football clubs are uniquely placed to spread this message, reaching thousands every week through matches, community programmes, and role models on the pitch.

"We are asking supporters not only to reject racist language and behaviour, but to be active anti-racists. That means speaking out when something is wrong, supporting those targeted by abuse, and showing that the true spirit of football is inclusive. Silence allows prejudice to grow; action and solidarity stop it in its tracks.

"Scottish football is enriched by players and coaches from across the world and fans cheer those players. This diversity is not a threat – it is one of the game’s greatest strengths. The range of nationalities on the pitch reflects the reality of modern Scotland: a nation shaped by contributions from people of many backgrounds.

When we stand together in our stadiums, we show what community really means. “Together We Are Stronger” is more than a slogan – it is a truth that runs through football. Racism weakens us all, but unity makes us powerful.

"So this matchday, and every day, let’s make sure that our game is welcoming for everyone. Raise your voice, challenge racism, and show that football fans in Scotland are united."
