Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke says that he was the victim of sectarian abuse during his side's 5-0 defeat to Rangers in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

During the game, chants of "sad Fenian bastard" were heard around the stadium.

"It’s lovely being back in the west of Scotland, really nice," Clarke is quoted by the Courier as saying following the game.

When I was approached by Rangers about taking over the job here I was assured that 'We don’t have that in the west of Scotland anymore. It’s gone.'

They can call me a bastard or a wanker. No problem, thanks, guys. But to call me a Fenian bastard, come on. Where are we living in? The Dark Ages?

They are not allowed to call my assistant (Alex Dyer) a 'black b' but they can call me a Fenian bastard. What are we doing in Scotland?

I wake up every morning and thank Chelsea for coming and taking me away from the west of Scotland because my children don’t understand this. Thankfully when I go down there my children, my grandchildren don’t have to worry about this. So, fantastic to be back in Scotland.

Clarke was also angry regarding two decisions by referee Alan Muir, feeling that his side should have been awarded a penalty in the opening minutes. Rangers took the lead after seven minutes.

There was also a red card shown to Daniel Bachmann in the 25th minute which Clarke called "a joke".
