The BBC are running a headline at the moment that says "SFA vows to tackle 'Famine song" following a statement from SFA president George Peat to BBC reporters.
To paraphrase Mr Peat, he says he has now heard these racist chaps for himself and he says he's jolly well miffed about it because now he's got other chaps asking him difficult questions at every turn. If it carries on he says that he'll be even more miffed that the chaps haven't stopped it and if that's the case then he'll seriously have to arrange tea and a chat with some of the other chaps and jolly well arrange to put together a committee of chaps to study these 'old firm' racist chaps ...........

No, but really, the BBC report says:
SFA president George Peat told BBC Sport he heard a section of the Rangers support sing an offensive song during Saturday's 3-1 win over Hamilton. The Famine Song refers to events that killed an estimated one million people in the 1840s and led to a mass migration from Ireland.
Peat said there was still "some way to go" to eradicate offensive chanting. Rangers have asked their fans to refrain from singing the song, which includes the line: "The famine's over, why don't you go home."
The Ibrox club also sought guidance from Strathclyde Police on the matter with a view to making singing the song an arrestable offence. Peat said the SFA was determined to help eradicate offensive chanting from SPL grounds.
"At the minute, we've left it in the hands of the SPL to look into things and try to eradicate it," he told BBC Sport.
"We know that clubs have tried hard. Listening to it again at the weekend, it would appear that there's still some way to go.
"Obviously, it's got to be stamped out and we'll be having a meeting soon with the SPL and the police to see what we can do about it."
Last month, the SPL said it was investigating the matter. "We introduced rules on unacceptable conduct last season, in line with the laws of the land," a spokesman said. "These have helped drive improvement in behaviour at matches and we will continue to work with clubs to this end.
"Rangers have contacted Strathclyde Police about the 'Famine Song' and we will be in touch with both parties to consider what, if any, action is needed."
Mr Peats actual words are :
"At the minute we've left it in the hands of the SPL to look into things and try to eradicate it. We know that clubs have tried hard. Listening to it again at the weekend, it would appear that there's still some way to go. Obviously, it's got to be stamped out and we'll be having a meeting soon with the SPL and the police to see what we can do about it."
So there you have it - it seems that the Scottish Football Association, who have done nothing so far about the racist songs of the Rangers support despite being aware of it for over six months, will leave it in the hands of the SPL, who have done nothing so far about the racist songs of the Rangers support despite being aware of it for over six months.
Relishing his role as Pontius Pilate, Mr Peat said that they plan to have a meeting soon with the SPL and the Police - yet another organisation, you've guessed it, who have done nothing so far about the racist songs of the Rangers support despite being aware of it for over six months.
Nothing to see here, move along folks.......
