A spokesman for Rangers told Britain's Press Association that the 23-year-old Colombia international was targeted by rival fans after he was sent off by referee Kevin Clancy in the closing stages of Sunday's 2-1 win over Celtic after picking up the second of two yellow cards.

"We believe Alfredo was racially abused and we would expect now that all measures will be taken to identify and deal with those responsible," the spokesman was quoted as saying.

Celtic responded with a statement saying they have "received no reports of any racial abuse but would fully investigate any should these be brought to our attention."

Morelos had gestured toward fans with his hand across his throat as he made his way up the tunnel.

Rangers said that gesture is "used commonly throughout South America to indicate quite simply that something – in this case, the match – is finished."

Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
