Maurice Ross reveals language that led to Notts County resignation as he admits using racist passport stereotype
Rangers star Maurice Ross has apologised for his "clumsy and insensitive" comment that ultimately cost him his job as Notts County assistant.A remark uttered towards substitutes regarding Dutch winger Enzio Boldewijn, who is black, prompted an outcry among the National League side's squad.Ross, who also turned out for Aberdeen, Motherwell and Livingston in his playing days, resigned from the club within 48 hours as rumours circled as to what the ex-Scotland star really said and whether it was an issue of racism.And he's now owned up to the remark as he admitted he questioned whether Boldewijn's passport had been altered, a vulgar stereotype towards players from Africa with racist connotations.
