After their 4-0 win, Rangers boss Gerrard said:
"I only heard what my players were saying they heard. That wasn't good, that's what I can say.
"This is a situation for Ross County, their manager Stuart Kettlewell and the officials to deal with.
"But what my players are saying they heard, it shouldn't be heard on a football pitch. That's all I'm going to say on it.
"I am not getting involved in that, it's not my business. It is not my business to go there. But I'll be interested to see how it is dealt with by the opposition.
I wanted to know if the referee heard what my players heard. He said he never, so from there I just moved on and went to do my half-time team talk and focused on the game.
"But what was apparently said, it doesn't belong on a football pitch.
"There is no place for it. There are campaigns for this type of stuff to get it eradicated out of the game.
"We want to be at the forefront in terms of backing these campaigns.
"But this wasn't one of my players, so it's not really for me to deal with, it is for Ross County and the officials to deal with moving forward.
"But we will continue to back every campaign if it makes the game better."
