Sectarian Thug
Rangers Football Club have issued a lifetime ban to the sectarian thug who was sent to prison for posting explosive packages to the Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, and other well-known Scottish Catholics.
But the moron is now thumbing his nose at the club by getting other fans to buy him a ticket and posting 'selfies' of himself at Rangers matches where he is engaging in other sectarian activities such as holding a paramilitary UVF banner.
Now McKenzie is exactly the kind of individual who should be given a lifetime football banning order and I hope the police will assist Rangers and all their decent fans in getting rid of this kind of 'supporter' from the Scottish game.
Sinister letter bomber Neil McKenzie holds up flag praising loyalist terrorists at Ibrox as he flouts lifetime ban from Rangers
By Mark McGivern -The Daily Record
DESPITE being told in person that he was not welcome at Ibrox, the hate-filled thug arranged for a friend to buy tickets on his behalf for Saturday's home game against Livingston.
Letter bomber Neil McKenzie returns to Ibrox
LETTER bomber Neil McKenzie sneaked back into Ibrox at the weekend – pouring scorn on the club he shamed.
The thug who sent explosive packages through the post to former Celtic manager Neil Lennon and other prominent Catholics was banned for life from Ibrox after the Record published photos of him at the ground last week .
Despite being told in person that he was not welcome by Ibrox security chief David Martin, McKenzie arranged for a friend to buy tickets on his behalf for Saturday’s game home against Livingston.
He travelled from his home in Saltcoats, Ayrshire, with his two sons and walked into the ground of a club who never want to see him again.
McKenzie then appeared to hold up a flag praising loyalist terrorists the Ulster Volunteer Force.
One Rangers fan who became aware of McKenzie’s refusal to stay away said: “He knows he isn’t welcome but he’s determined to show how clever he is by going back.
“He was telling people that he doesn’t care because the club has no real power to take any action against him.
“He says he will be back again.”
McKenzie sat in a section of the ground where a huge flag was unfurled, stating a loyalist slogan, “When the sound of the battle is over, it’s shoulder to shoulder we’ll stand.”

SNS Group - McKenzie boasts about holding the UVF banner
The verse is taken from a banned song dedicated to the UVF, the group who, with their affiliates, murdered at least 485 people during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
McKenzie boasted about his excursion on a Facebook page, where he uses the name Diego Moltoban.
He posted a photo of himself and a family member sitting within the stadium during Rangers’ 1-1 draw. Beneath it was a jibe at the Record for exposing him.
McKenzie, as Moltoban, praised the UVF banner, posting: “What about the banner by the Union Bears? It absolute peach (sic). No doubt the offended will say it’s sectarian”.
He added: “We couldn’t see the park for it, held it up for ages.”
Last week, after the Record revealed that McKenzie, 45, had attended a game against Queen of the South , the club tracked down the obsessive fan to tell him he was banned from all matches involving the club.

He was made aware that he should not try to obtain tickets from any source.
Club sources emphasised the ban was for life and would not be revoked.
McKenzie and fellow thug Trevor Muirhead, 47, were each jailed for five years in April 2012 for a letter bomb campaign against Lennon, former MSP Trish Godman and the late QC Paul McBride, as well as the office of an Irish republican group.
McKenzie was freed from jail in June last year after serving two years in prison. Muirhead was freed last September.
The pair were convicted of conspiring to assault.
Their trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard McKenzie was motivated by a vicious hatred of
Celtic FC and Irish republicanism.
Packages contained what was believed to be the explosive triacetone triperoxide.
Last night a Rangers spokesman said: “The club has made it very clear to this man that he is not welcome at Ibrox and our staff are aware that he should not be allowed to buy tickets.”
