It reads: "Go back to the cotton fields” “you’d be better with a chain in your mouth” making whipping noises."
Supporters of the Light Blues have been left outraged as the club has worked tirelessly to launch their anti-racism campaign 'Everyone Anyone' campaign.
Players James Tavernier and Connor Goldson previously opened up on racist taunts they have received on social media in the past.
