Celtic fans visiting Belfast Zoo have complained to councillors after they were the victims of vicious, provocative sectarian taunts. Everything Ulster contacted the fans who rubbished claims that it was in fact they who instigated the altercation with sectarian chants.

Anti-sectarianism charity Nil By Mouth have called on the zoo to take action following the incident. The Zoo's chief executive has said he will investigate.

Hun Ping has apologised for any offence caused after mimicking playing the flute.

Celtic fan and renowned academic Leaich Spiedal posted his views on an internet forum, claiming the action was "typical of the bigotry entrenched in NI zoology" before continuing "Anyway, i'd rather be a Paki than a Hun!!!"
