Campbell embarrassed by footage
Campbell, 56, can be seen on a video appearing to join in with a rendition of the controversial 'Derry's Walls' during the Ibrox club's Champions League trip to Sevilla last week.[LNB]'Derry's Walls' celebrates the 1689 siege of the Northern Ireland city and the singing of it is considered offensive by some.[LNB]Campbell told BBC Scotland: "I am very embarrassed as I am not that kind of guy. I was at a karaoke. I've been totally stitched up."[LNB]Former Dunfermline boss Campbell, whose own wife and three sons are Catholics, added: "People who know me will be shocked as that's not my style.[LNB]"I don't care if you're Catholic, Protestant or whatever. I even fine my own players if they tell me they are lifelong Rangers or Celtic fans.[LNB]"I am not a supporter of either club but have helped charities on both sides, have followed both clubs in Europe and sung 'Fields of Athenry' with Celtic fans."[LNB]The video of Campbell also shows him telling Rangers supporters in a bar in Seville that his brother Peter, who died last year, was a fan of the club and that his own allegiances lay with Ibrox boss Walter Smith, who is a close friend.[LNB]Campbell said: "I started singing an Andy Williams song, but that went down like a lead weight and I just got caught up in the moment.[LNB]"I haven't read the paper or watched the video and I never will, but I certainly won't go into a karaoke bar again."[LNB]Forfar secretary David McGregor said that the Loons would be issuing a statement within 48 hours.[LNB]"We are not happy that this has appeared in the papers and Dick is not happy about it," he said.[LNB]"But, rest assured, there's no doubt about Dick Campbell staying as manager of Forfar Athletic. "We are not trying to minimise the gravity of this as the reports do make it sound awful.[LNB]"But we don't have the problems with these things they have in the west of Scotland."[LNB][LNB]
