Alex Dyer tells racists to stay away from Kilmarnock
Alex Dyer has vowed Kilmarnock will eradicate racists from Rugby Park after the Ayrshire outfit launched an investigation into alleged abuse directed at Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.Killie chiefs have vowed to ban anyone found guilty of hurling discriminatory insults after TV cameras appeared to capture a shout aimed at Gers Colombian star during Wednesdays clash.And Dyer has backed the clubs zero-tolerance stance, saying: I didnt hear it on the night but if that is the case I know the club will look into it.If we can find the person who did this then they will obviously be banned from the football club because we wont tolerate anything like this.My message is the football club doesnt need anyone with those thoughts. Stay away.But we also know this isnt just about football. Its societys problem but at the end of the day we dont want anyone with that mentality around this football club.We can all do more. Everybody can do more. But well do the best thing for Kilmarnock at this present time. Anyone who has those thoughts and they are showing them then get them out. Dont let them anywhere near the place.Dyer is the only black manager in the Ladbrokes Premiership and has praised Killie for giving him the opportunity.And he does not want his clubs reputation tarnished by one individual.Kilmarnock have been brilliant, he said. Obviously Im sitting in this position because the club has given me a opportunity to manage it. As you can see Im a black man but that never came into it at all. I was hired because of my ability and long may that continue.Yeah (Wednesdays incident) is alarming. But what can you do? Thats one or two individuals. Its not the majority. This is a great football club and a great town to live in with good people. One or two aint going to spoil it for the rest.We have to deal with it as best we can and if people do have those thoughts, well eradicate it from this football club.A club spokesperson said: The club is aware of an incident of alleged racism against Alfredo Morelos and will investigate this matter fully.Kilmarnock Football Club wholeheartedly condemns any form of racism and anyone found to be involved in incidents of this nature will be immediately banned from Rugby Park.If anyone has any information then we would encourage them to come forward.Dyers team stunned Rangers with a 2-1 victory to leave Steven Gerrards title dreams in tatters.But the Rugby Park boss believes Sundays clash with Hibernian means more to his side than toppling Gers.The Londoner whose side can leapfrog Jack Ross team into the top six with a fourth straight league win said: Wednesday is finished now. Were moving on.Weve got another big game on Sunday. A very big game, even bigger than the one we had the other day. Its a lot bigger than the other day but only because we won that one.Now we look forward to the next one. Hibs are above us and we can catch them, so its important we get a win. Otherwise it doesnt make the win against Rangers worth it.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
