Celtic boss Rodgers calls for racism to be stamped out of football

The former Liverpool manager has responded to the social media post that appears to make a racist comment towards one of his players

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has called for more education to stamp out racism in football following an offensive social media post aimed at Scott Sinclair.

Sinclair expressed his revulsion after he became aware of a photograph posted online in which he is mentioned in what appears to be a racist caption.

The picture is of a young girl standing in front of an artwork depicting monkeys and includes the caption: 'just bumped into Scott Sinclair at Edinburgh Zoo'.
