ONE of Scotland's most prominent black football figures says he would rather be physically attacked than racially abused.
Queen of the South manager Marvin Bartley insists nothing is more harrowing than being targeted for his skin colour.
He said: "I would rather someone physically assault me or spit on me than racially abuse me. Personally, it is the most hurtful thing you can do to me. I can't explain the pain you feel and it is a deep pain.
"At first it is like a cut, then the wound opens up and it becomes a scar that never goes away. I am proud of my skin colour and for someone to see that as a way to insult me is so offensive to me." Marvin was speaking at the launch of Make Scotland Great, a campaign to show the benefits migration has brought to Scotland.
