Clarke and Gerrard embrace after the game

Clarke launched an attack on the minority of Gers fans who branded him a ‘sad F***** b*****’ at the end of Wednesday’s Scottish Cup replay.Last Sunday, Boyd was hit by a coin and targeted with sectarian abuse at Rugby Park by some travelling Celtic fans.Responding to Clarkes post-match press conference, Gerrard said: Its happened in the last four or five days to Steve and his players.“There was stuff said at Kilmarnock v Celtic as well at the weekend but Steve didnt want to really speak about the abuse that Boydy got at the weekend.4

A coin (circled) was thrown at Boyd from Celtic fans on Sunday

I respect Steves opinion but all I can say is as a club we dont support any unacceptable behaviour from the terraces.“We want it out, whatever kind of abuse it is we dont want it. Homophobic, racial, religion, we dont want it and we dont support it.The club made a statement on it and made that very clear. The majority are doing their best to eradicate it but I dont think you can tar every supporter with the same brush.We had nearly 40,000 fans at that game. Theres a lot of praise to go to our supporters too. They got behind the team and the players treated them to a very important result.4

Gerrard sympathised after experiencing abuse during his football career

Unfortunately there were a minority there and we will try to eradicate that from our support. I wasnt aware of this until I got home.I had a beer with Steve after the game and he was his normal self. We spoke about football, about the game and upcoming fixtures.I wasnt aware of what he had said in his press conference so it was a surprise to me when I got home. But obviously I respect his feelings.Steves said what hes said and the club had made a statement. I support them on that.4

Gerrard praised the Rangers fans who supported the team in the correct manner

“Whether its chants, coin-throwing or anything that does not belong in football, we want it out.“Individuals and small minorities at certain stadiums let themselves down unfortunately. Thats not just in this league.Ive had experience of it before. Of late theres been different kind ofabusein football matches and as a football family we should all be trying to eradicate it from the terraces because its unacceptable.Ive got confidence in the club that theyll be doing everything they can to try help get rid of it. Ive had it since I was 18. I just echo what Boydy said at the weekend, as long as its not physical Im okay with it.Im not going to react to any abuse but Ive had it quite a bit. I dont want it, I dont welcome it but its fine, no problem. I just get on with it.
