He's definately not a bigot - he just didn't think before he acted and should have known better. The whole thing's a bit draft, but the reaction of the newspapers has been rediculous, it would be different if he was a loyalist on the wind-up but since he's always been a big supporter of the IFA's 'Football for All' project IMHO I'd say it was a naive mistake.
Funny how the newspapers who over-reacted to this haven't made much comment about the fact that Healy seemed to be singled out for abuse from some in the Celtic support because he's a Nordie prod ("Where were you on the Twelfth" etc). Fair enough, Healy was daft but the issue of the OF's behaviour is glossed over yet again.

It was meant as harmless banter from the Celtic fans just as his reaction was taken as harmless banter.
