FORMER Celtic boss Gordon Strachan's niece Ellis Paterson has brought more shame on her family by dating a SECOND pro-IRA lout.
Her new boyfriend Sean Hadden was snapped grinning and raising a fist next to terrorist slogans daubed on seats at Rangers' Ibrox ground.
It comes less than two years after her ex Aaron Laing was banned from Celtic Park after he was pictured waving an Irish tricolour flag with 'IRA' daubed on it.
Hadden, 20, posted the twisted picture of himself on Bebo on Sunday - just hours after both halves of the Old Firm honoured the 66 Gers fans who died in the Ibrox Disaster 40 years ago.
web rants ... Ellis and Hadden with pals
In a sickening rant on his web page Hadden, of Keith, Morayshire, also brands Rangers supporters "Huns", "bigots" and "Orange bastards".
Ellis, 18 - the daughter of Strachan's sister Laura - also made a foul outburst on her Facebook page after Celtic's 2-0 win over Rangers at the weekend. She wrote: "Happy New Year! The Bhoys f*** the Huns."
But furious fans of both the Ibrox giants and the Hoops last night blasted Hadden for posting the snap on a day of remembrance. Gers supporter Craig Stewart wrote on the net: "I'm disgusted that these scumbags are not only glorifying terrorism but they choose to do it on a sacred day in the history of Rangers Football Club when we are mourning the deaths of the 66 victims of the Ibrox Disaster."
David Kerr said: "I am a Rangers fan and found that the Celtic support on Sunday were very respectful during the silence and generally well behaved the whole game. But it goes to show how a small minority of idiots can land the whole fanbase being labelled thugs."
Even Celtic supporters rounded on Hadden. Scott Crombie blasted: "I am truly disgusted." Rangers have launched a probe. A spokeswoman said: "We will investigate."
Hadden claims to be a season ticket-holder in the Lisbon Lions stand at Parkhead and insists he goes to every away match.
Last night he was not at his home. Ellis was not available for comment at her home in Aberdeen.
A representative for Strachan, 53, - who is without a club after leaving Middlesbrough last year - declined to comment.
Ex-Celtic boss ... Gordon Strachan
Strachan was left embarrassed while he was Hoops boss when Ellis' then-boyfriend Laing was banned from Celtic Park after he was pictured waving the Irish flag with 'IRA' written on it in 2009.
Laing claimed the stunt was "drunken stupidity" after finding the flag beside his seat.
At the time he said: "Well, that's my life over, then. It was a moment of drunken stupidity. I regret it completely. I'm ashamed."
When the scandal broke, Ellis' father David insisted she would not see Laing again.
But last night he refused to discuss the picture of her latest yob boyfriend Hadden.
