AN influential group of Rangers fans has thrown its support behind plans for a new memorial to victims of the Irish Potato Famine.
The Rangers Supporters Assembly (RSA) said it would also be making a donation towards the cost of the project, adding any memorial had "the chance to represent the entire Irish community in Glasgow".
The move was welcomed yesterday, especially given the rivalry between the Old Firm and the traditional perception of Celtic as the team of the Irish diaspora in the west of Scotland.
