TV ROW Rangers hit out at BBC after contributor references club in domestic abuse segment Scottish Women's Aid chair Nicola Gilchrist was speaking on BBC show The Nine when she mentioned the club and supporters have demanded an apology from both RANGERS have hit out at the BBC after a contributor referenced the club during a domestic abuse segment. Scottish Women's Aid chair Nicola Gilchrist appeared on Friday night's edition of The Nine on BBC Scotland. She was invited on to speak about a new law due to come into effect in Scotland next month that will make controlling and coercive behaviour a criminal offence. Fiona Drouet - the mother of Aberdeen University student Emily Drouet, who killed herself in 2016 after being a victim of such abuse - was also a guest on the show. And after Mrs Drouet admitted she wanted people to educate themselves about the dangers of controlling and coercive behaviour, Ms Gilchrist agreed. She said: "This is what I think is so vital actually, is changing the shape of this. "Educating people that domestic abuse is not a black eye after the Rangers lose or something. That is not what we are talking about. "We are talking about what Fiona's talking about here, that the shame and humiliation of living with this, that is going to, I think, shape the conversation in Scotland." A Rangers spokesperson said: "The first thing to be stressed is that domestic abuse should be condemned at every opportunity. "Once again, however, the BBC provided a platform from which Rangers could be denigrated. "Even so, it was astounding to hear Nicola Gilchrist single out Rangers. Perhaps she would like to explain why, while discussing this awful form of abuse, she felt it necessary to reference a club which does more than any other to help ease and eradicate the myriad problems faced by people in our local and wider communities.' A number of Rangers fans have been angered by the reference to the Ibrox club losing games in Gilchrist's response. And many have demanded both she and the Beeb apologise for the remarks. A BBC Scotland spokesperson said: "We did an item on The Nine which was highlighting the important issue of domestic abuse and its tragic consequences." SunSport has contacted Scottish Women's Aid for comment. Last week Rangers fans protested against BBC Scotland’s coverage of the club outside its Pacific Quay HQ in Glasgow. They unleashed a banner blast which read: "Biased, bigoted, corrupt. DON'T FUND OUR HATERS. BBC, LICENCE TO LIE." The organisations are embroiled in a long-term disagreement, relating to senior journalist Chris McLaughlin’s Ibrox ban. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4033415/rangers-fans-bbc-contributor-domestic-abuse/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1553434233

amid claims club still owe him money The 22-year-old had a disastrous loan spell at Ibrox but isn't happy with the club or manager. Umar Sadiq has sensationally claimed Rangers still owe him money from his time on loan at the club. The Ibrox loan flop had his season long loan spell cut short in December and isn't impressed by how he was treated by the club. And Sadiq has also revealed he was fined £20,000 by the club over a social media post during his time in Glasgow. The Nigerian is currently out on loan at Perugia in Serie B after returning to parent club Roma. It was a nightmare six months for him in Glasgow as he joined the club but played just five times and making one start. That came in the 1-0 defeat to Aberdeen in the Betfred Cup semi-final and Steven Gerrard had earlier criticised the big forward for his performances in training and insisted he wasn't capable of starting for the club. He was forced to play him with Kyle Lafferty cup-tied and Alfredo Morelos suspended and was slammed by fans after the game. But Sadiq insists Rangers withheld money due to him in December despite his loan spell ending early in the month. He told the Sunday Post: "All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing room any more. Instead, I had to go change with the kids. Then after a few days I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre. "I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude but I never received any answers. "Gerrard wouldn't give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives. I believe absolutely that I was not given a fair chance to show what I can do. They made me feel like a stranger. I started only once and that was when there were no other strikers available. "For me everything went wrong after they brought in another striker. Once I put a 'like' on Instagram to a post from a fan and I was fined £20,000 which was absurd. And Rangers didn't even pay me up everything I was due. They still have to give me my salary for December." But while the 22-year-old isn't overly happy with Gerrard, and admitted he doesn't care how the club do on the pitch, he revealed there is one player he will keep an eye out for in the future. He added: "I honestly don't care how they do. As long as I was a Rangers player, I behaved like a professional, giving everything I could of myself to the shirt but now I don't want to hear about them and what they are doing anymore. "In my opinion, they behaved in a disrespectful way to me, both as a player and as a person. When it ended, Steven Gerrard didn't even have the courage to talk to me and tell me what was happening face-to-face. "One man I do wish all the cluck and success to in the future is Alfredo Morelos. He was my fellow striker, and I felt good with him during the time I was in Scotland. I would say that he is a very good player and an exceptional guy. He will be one of the few that I will follow with affection." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steven-gerrard-slammed-rangers-flop-14178980
