St Mirren Football Club is proud to once again be supporting Show Racism the Red Card's Fortnight of Action.
Many of you will have seen the campaign within football for many years, with the SPFL and its member clubs supporting it campaign since it started in Scotland 16 years ago.
In addition to increasing the awareness of SRtRC’s work in Scotland, the Fortnight of Action from 4th-20thOctober, shows commitment at the highest level of Scottish football to eradicate racism and discrimination of any form from our game.
All professional clubs will show their support over one weekend – Friday 4th, Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October with clubs united in calling for an end to racism in football and society. Players in over 40 European Countries are involved in similar events as part of FARE network against racism and discrimination.
We urge fans to continue to support the anti-racism message; it is the responsibility of us all to ensure that it is carried out beyond the Fortnight of Action and beyond the terraces.
St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin said: "At St Mirren we are committed to promoting diversity & inclusion and eradicating any form of discrimination. We have worked with Show Racism the Red Card for a number of years and we are once again delighted to show our support for their Fortnight of Action."
St Mirren condemn all forms of racism and any racist behaviour will not be tolerated within the club.
Show Racism the Red Card are working with grassroots football, community groups, schools, the police and prison service to ensure that going forward Scottish society and Scottish football is fair and inclusive for all.
Football is a sport that is followed by people across the world and football matches should be an enjoyable experience for all, whatever their background. We all have a part to play in challenging racism in football and society.
