Weekend Bigots

The players' perspective - with Derek Ferguson and Mickey Weir


Listen Later

Running out onto the park in the jersey of your team is the dream for many young boys. But what's the reality like?

On the second episode of Weekend Bigots, ex-Hearts and Rangers star Derek Ferguson and former Hibs wing wizard Mickey Weir talk about fulfilling that dream.

Kevan asks them about their experiences with sectarianism both on and off the pitch. Both ex-players are now ambassadors for 'Show Racism the Red Card' and visit schools to educate children about the dangers of getting caught up in racism and sectarianism.

They also talk about the importance of rivalry in football but explain that this doesn't need to involve bigotry.
