St Johnstone’s big plan to show racism the red card

ST Johnstone and Show Racism the Red Card are joining forces for the Annual Day of Action today.

Saints supporters attending the home match against Partick Thistle will be given a Saints squad poster.

The Show Racism the Red Card posters have been jointly sponsored by the local branch of UNISON and the Community Safety Partnership.

They will also be made available to young participants at the coaching school in the morning and to young Super J fans at their pre-match club.

The Day of Action is part of Show Racism the Red Card’s Annual Fortnight of Action, which involves all professional clubs and aims to tackle anti-racism through football.

Councillor Willie Robertson, chairman of Perth and Kinross Community Safety Partnership, said: “We are delighted to be able to join with UNISON to sponsor the St Johnstone ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ squad posters. It is important to deliver the message that any form of racism or discrimination is unacceptable.”
