\n

Ice hockey club the Glasgow Clan have banned a fan for life over racist social media posts about a rival player.<\/p>\n

The man made the remarks in the comments of a Facebook post by the Elite Ice Hockey League<\/a>, who had congratulated Fife Flyers forward Mason Alderson on scoring his first goal at professional level during the Flyers 3-2 defeat to the Clan on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In reference to Alderson, who is from London, the Clan fan said “deport it” and “he’s not white he doesn’t belong”. <\/p>\n

The club said the comments were in “direct opposition to everything our club represents”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A spokesperson for the ice hockey team, who play their home games at the Braehead Arena, said the comments were “deeply concerning”.<\/p>\n

They said the fan had been issued a lifetime ban from the arena and the incident had been reported to the authorities. <\/p>\n

The spokesperson added: “Let us be absolutely clear: racism, homophobia, and any form of discriminatory or hateful behaviour will not be tolerated \u2014 whether online, in the arena, or anywhere associated with our club.<\/p>\n

“We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive organisation that welcomes players, staff, and fans from all walks of life. Anyone found engaging in racist, homophobic, or abusive behaviour will face a ban and will be refused entry to Braehead Arena.”<\/p>\n

Fife Flyers posted the same statement as Glasgow Clan, and said the fan was banned from all Flyers games as well.<\/p>\n

Alderson, 23, spent the past two years playing between between National Ice Hockey League side Solway Sharks and current Elite Ice Hockey League Champions Belfast Giants, before moving to Fife in June.<\/p>\n

He has been capped by Great Britain at U18 and U20 level. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
