Dunks Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Quote "Our supporters have been asked repeatedly by the club to refrain from indulging in this, and other forms of unacceptable behaviour," added the statement. "Sadly, the warnings have fallen on deaf ears and the actions of this minority will cause the club and the majority of good and decent Rangers supporters to pay a heavy penalty. "Unfortunately a significant number of supporters, innocent of any wrong doing, will be unable to attend next week's match. This is deeply regrettable to all at the club and we hope that the guilty parties, who attracted the attention of Uefa might reflect on the damage their unacceptable behaviour is causing Rangers and their fellow supporters. "If any individual supporter is unable to behave in a civilised manner then please stay away from Ibrox and our club. You are harming Rangers and that is something a genuine supporter would never wish to do." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49449628 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaii Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 This is from the game in Malta, so they should be able to identify those who caused this aye? Name and shame? On the other hand if this is the Malta punishment you would imagine that the other away games might increase the severity. How many rollovers until it’s a stand then the stadium?

RobNox Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Rangers chairman Dave King added: "Rangers is a club open to all and we will continue to convey this message at every opportunity through our Everyone Anyone initiative. "Rangers has players and supporters from many religions, cultures and backgrounds but we are one and the same when we gather to support our club. If any supporter cannot accept that then Rangers is not the club for them." Meanwhile, check out the barry new Orange away kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they’re not shirking away from it. Exactly but they have had to do this in response to facing proper sanctions. They are able to brush this sort of stuff off domestically because they know that the SFA are too spineless to do anything about it. UEFA handing down a proper punishment has made them call out their fans which is something that they have point blank refused to do before now.

Shanks Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's a disgrace the SFA and SPFL are happy to say nothing about this and sweep it under the carpet. This is a sanction against Rangers but it tarnishes Scotland's reputation. This country has a problem with racism and sectarianism and not enough is being done to tackle the issue. The fact is that our two biggest clubs exist and thrive on sectarianism, it's all about money and that is why nothing is being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
