RANGERS legend Mark Hateley joined Glasgow school kids to discuss racism and hate crime in our community.
The Englishman is a patron of Show Racism and the Red Card and was on hand to answer questions from children from St Saviours Primary and Riverside Primary.
The event featured educational workshops that explored assumptions about racism, looking at stereotypes and immigration before Police Scotland delivered a workshop on hate crime, defining what a hate crime is, how it can affect people and how it can be safely and effectively challenged.
Mr Hateley has been a long-time supporter of Show Racism the Red Card and regularly attends events across the country to meet children of all ages and discuss his experiences in the game.
More than 10,000 young people from across Scotland took part in anti-racism education workshops and activities within their schools during the last academic year and kids from Primary 6 and 7 were invited to Ibrox.
Former Gers striker Gary McSwegan also spoke to the group of 90 kids and SRTRC Campaign Support Worker Ruth McGeogh is pleased to have the Glasgow giants on board.
She said: “It is fantastic to have the support of Rangers and they do so much for us.
“It means a lot for the children from this area to come to an iconic club and see the stadium.
“Football is a sport that engages so many people and we can use the game and footballers to get our message across.
“The kids are always delighted to meet players and they hang on every word that they say.
“It is important that we get our message to them and having the support of Rangers, Mark and Gary is really important to us.
“People form their attitudes and opinions of how they are going to look at the world at a young age. 
“We have done workshops in their classrooms in the past, we have been in with the schools three times and had three different workshops.
“This is the first time that we have ran a programme like this and what we really noticed was the young people had remembered what they had been told previously.”
