I thought at the time the split between fans was a joke.

About 20 meters behind the goal, then a walkway to the Hibs fans left. A total joke, considering the ***** that happened v Hearts.

Anyone shed any light?

Considering they had half the ground to relocate their supporters, the management of the segregation was a disgrace, that club is shambolic across the diversity of it's responsibilities, on the pitch, in the board room and now onto the fans seating. Although it will be argued that the Police and Stewards could be held accountable ! I suspect that it's the club that dictates the seating arrangements, again they have created a risk situation for fans that could have been avoided.

They can't reasonably claim that it all came as a surprise either, as they turned down Hibs request for extra tickets under 'safety concerns'.

Their fans are just [not very nice people]*

I was right at the very back underneath the screen and right beside the no mans land area which wasn't properly stewarded till things kicked off .However being below the screen I was sheltered from having things thrown from above on me but could see them raining down on fans further in front and the Stewards clocked this. But whoever was in charge above us didn't seem interested in putting a stop to to .The main problems were where I was unlucky enough to be the last time I was there which was further round to my left and fans are literally separated by a barrier that can easily be jumped over and the Rangers fans can encroach right into your face if you are in the row nearest them .This is where they then needed to put in a line of Stewards after the goal .However the Hibs support there were noising the locals up and at a goal you could see what was going to happen Didn't see many folk getting escorted out and those I did see were for a change in the Huns end .

its the thowing of objects and drinks which has been a feature in last few games that is mainly from the Huns and people rightly react to that .

Things were certainly thrown, I was skelped in the back with a full cup of juice & my little sister had her face grabbed at the first goal & her glasses taken right off her face, although in fairness the stewards wasted no time in getting them back for her. Absolute **** of the earth & I genuinely think I hate them more than Hertz

:top marks This. Was watching the bother on TV and shocked at the lack of gap between the fans. Simply no need for that. They had same issue when Hearts were there just a few weeks ago, yet allowed Rangers fans to sit right next to the away supporters - utter madness. There was loads of space to relocate them.

IMO those Hun fans who choose to sit in that area go there to wind up away supporters (and the club know that !), and happy to get involved if bother kicks off. Sevco, the police and stewards all know that and need to be pulled up for not doing their job properly or even knowingly facilitating it !

I'm starting to think that Sevco don't know much at all. I get the impression the place is so chaotic there is nobody in place to make decisions.

It's the only explanation for not selling more tickets for the match to Hibs fans.

As we were waiting on the gates being opened to let us out we were speaking to one of the stewards. He said that it's easier to police now because there are fewer season tickets and their fans can almost sit where they want rather than on a designated seat. As a result all of the troublemakers move towards the away support and they are easier to deal with as they are all together. Can't say they did it that well on Friday.

I was over at the opposite side and have to say the stewards beside us were pretty quick at spotting and dealing with anyone from either side including watching for stuff being thrown down from top tier. The stewards on the top tier however were not as observant or quick to deal with it.

You never said a truer word Steven;

In all the years i have supported Hibs and although i have never felt safe at Ibrox i always went along to the games there. After the shambles that was for the first league game against them i have not been back and have missed two resounding successes for my team.

Its the only ground in Scotland where things are thrown downwards from the morons above pies, bovril, coins and other drinks cascade down on us and NO ONE does anything?

When you complain to stewards and /or police you are met with the evil eye treatment and told to sit down or be ejected from the stadium

At the first league game this season they were even throwing cups of urine in our direction, dont ask me how i knew it was urine, when informed the police not so politely told us to F..k off !

Hibs asked for complaints from the fans present and sent this information on to them but here we are again looking at the cretins doing what they do well.... being neanderthals!

Even though it happened to Hearts supporters the police allowed a demonstration to take place at the same time the Hearts support where leaving the stadium, you must remember they too were kept back for 30mins. The outcome of this has been well documented on media sites but should never happen!!

The clubs pay a lotof money for police cover and stewarding at stadiums so why dont they do their jobs? I for one havent missed these morons form the football league games these last years.

I really hope that if they do get to the playoffs they are well beaten and have to stay down. They were so confident that they would sweep to promotion but didnt reckon on Hearts & Hibs being there too, BUT Ali knew!!!

There was a police officer placed above the poorly segregated part recording most of what was happening throughout the game.
I couldn't believe the 3-4 seat gap between us and them, and it took them kicking up after our first goal for more stewards to get brought in. Shockingly unorganised and whoever decided that was ok needs a few harsh words.

Is there any other stadium in Scotland that's segregated with the above/below split?

It's an absolutely moronic way to set up the fans and that corner at Ibrox has always been a hotbed for trouble for that very reason.

The only time I've ever felt safe as an away fan at Ibrox was the Scottish Cup game when we were given the entire Broomloan (?) stand behind the goal and packed it out.

The trouble with that section is is that it's populated by non-ST holders so the club can effectively wash their hands with who buys tickets/sits around that area as anyone can buy a ticket/pass it on to the idiots in their support.

And quite true that the police/stewards are not your ally at Ibrox. Their argument is that they can only do anything by looking at the CCTV afterwards, as it's too difficult to police at the time but I sincerely doubt they pursue these things too hard once the stadium gates close and serious crimes take priority.

My brother was right down the front in the middle section and he witnessed someone getting hit in the face by a coin during the celebrations of our first goal.

The guy's nose was burst open.

I've often felt that the two sets of fans are far too close to each other at Ibrox and I'm not comfortable with them being directly above us in the Sandy Jardine stand either.

New team, same repulsive supporters.

I was on the front line at the game. Their "fans" mostly young, poorly dressed youths stood the whole time facing us. Didn't even watch ANY of the match. Did not see anything getting thrown. Lots of insults back and forth. Our boys picked on one chubby lad and gave him pelters. He was nearly in tears. Kept in 15 minutes after the game and by that time they were long gone. Grabbed a (cheep) cab to Queen St, quick drink then train home. Good night all in all.

This has been the hun way for decades - I was there with 3 guys and one woman (now the wife) in the early 80's 1-1 -Willie Jamieson scored with a header.

Some young sub humans above us spat on us randomly for most of the first half - one of our party threatened serious violence and a steward intervened and spoke to him! When we were actually hit by spit we pointed it and the offender out the steward -he smiled a bit, shrugged and said "you are at ibrox son" and that was it.

Two of us walked down to talk to the pitch side plod who was keeping a keen eye on the Hibs section. We told him the same thing - looked us right in the eye, smiled and walked along the way a bit. I have the same disrespect and disregard for the mentality of Glasgows, now Scotlands, finest today as I had after that experience whenever they are involved in "policing" matches - the key priority at Ibrox is to assist the home crowd as much as they can. One of their own.

We were quite close to the segregation on the left, and directly under the canopy of the upper tier which provided some shelter from any stray missiles, but I honestly didn't see anything too drastic. Nobody is going to be making up stories so we obviously missed what some are complaining about. My mate and I were chatting afterwards about how we thought the police had kept a lid on things by not wading in to eject individuals. Saw a couple of guys get a word in their ear, but the exception to that was the steward in the yellow coat emblazoned with "Stadium Safety Manager" who was shouting and screaming at a Hibs fan to come to him for a telling off like he was speaking to a dog. A few guys mentioned to a policeman who was standing next to him about how you can't go speaking to people like that. The policeman agreed, but said the guy was in charge and the boy better just do as he was told. That steward really was a total roaster.

Wasn't at the game on Friday so can't comment. But I have always thought that even a halfwit must know that you do not have opposing fans on different levels with one being above the other. As always it is only the ugly sisters that get away with this. Imagine the next game against the new Huns and we only give them the bottom half of the stand with us above them- total carnage.
they would be up in arms about it - in fact let's try it for a laugh.

I was on the front line at the game. Their "fans" mostly young, poorly dressed youths stood the whole time facing us. Didn't even watch ANY of the match. Did not see anything getting thrown. Lots of insults back and forth. Our boys picked on one chubby lad and gave him pelters. He was nearly in tears. Kept in 15 minutes after the game and by that time they were long gone. Grabbed a (cheep) cab to Queen St, quick drink then train home. Good night all in all.

Did you see the red haired young Hun wearing a blue North Face jacket with a hood? He spent the whole game trying to offer folk outside for a rammy.

I'm not advocating stooping to their level, but I would gladly risk a weekend in the jail and a small fine for "accidentally" spilling cups of..... fluid, onto them. To be fair, after the 4th time, I'd really be taking the pis.....

I haven't missed a game at Ibrox to see Hibs for around 15 years or so, unfortunately the experience seems to be getting worse. Around 15 years ago we got the bottom section of the Broomloan rd stand near the main stand, Rangers fans were above us, maybe it's my memory, but I can't remember too many incidents.
The area we get now, is perfect in relation to where our supporters cars and buses are parked, but it's horrendous that we're sandwiched between their fans. Rangers really need to look at this for all visiting fans, to ensure their safety.
I hold them wholly responsible for all these incidents, and they better fix it and soon!

A combination of poor segregation measures, spineless stewards once again too scared to do anything and the fact that the huns are the vilest, most horrible bunch of **** in world football.

Can't blame the stewards this time, or at least the ones on duty. I was on the very last seat right next to the huns at the govan stand and there was only one steward every 3-4 rows. And those stewards consisted of 20 year old lassies, 45 year old women and Ed Sheernan studenty look-a-likes, not one had an SIA badge on show so couldn't really do much even if they wanted to (and when your vastly outnumbered by pissed up hibbys and pissed off zombies who would want to for a few quid an hour). Huns and their planning was to blame.

Article states 6 seats of segregation, was more like 3. And a boy in front of me had a ticket that was for where the segregation banner covered!

Police Scotland are a shower of phannys aswell. When we goto places like Kirkcaldy, Alloa and Berwick etc the train stations, stadiums and streets are teeming with polis. Yet at Ibrox, for a Friday night game against Hibs, after major incidents only a few weeks ago against Hearts there was hardly a polis insight. Can only accume they don't want bumped out another £60k again! They did however manage to huckle some fat hun who punched a steward when we scored and catch it on their mobile camera according to the stewards colleague. Zombie hun bassa will find himself banned now. Lucky for him.

Ross, I was the last line of defence at the 3-1 game in September, think there was 1 or 2 chair gap and then the steward, between both sets of supporters. The stewards were great, and were only doing thier jobs

Your photo suggests that there was little or any gap on Friday

We should be getting together with hearts and all the others who have suffered and make a serious issue of this. Goading is all part of the pantomime but this mob are so unorganised as a club they are neglecting the safety of away fans.

They aren't taking steps to guarantee the safety of visiting supporters so the ground as it is isn't fit for purpose. Is it going to take a serious injury for someone to do something about this?

14 year old me and my old boy got chased through glasgow by a bunch of jakeys who were all 20+ after that game. We eventually got on a bus into town centre and one of the idiots stuck the head on the bus window several times whilst staring straight at me.

Bus travelled pretty slowly and they eventually caught up with us but the situation was smoothed over by a couple of bouncers outside a celtic bar.

Ive also witnessed one of them spit in an old guys face outside the ground. Vermin, the lot of them.

Billy, i assume that is tongue in cheek? The Polis couldn't give a flying ****. I recall a Scottish Cup 1/4 final (Bhoys my age will remind me if my facts are wrong), the Govan was under construction and we got a small section upstairs in the Broomloan. The back 2/3 rows behind the Hibs fans were reserved for the Brigtown Derry Boys Flute Band. The onslaught of spit, pies and Kia Ora was relentless. Jackie Mac scored for us that day in a 3-1 reverse (again I stand to be corrected). It was like the Alamo - back, side and down below, I always felt the Polis were in on this as well - lifted and called for all the usual. Smaller than usual crowd due to ground reconstruction so gave the *******s plenty more resource to hit us hard.

Billy, in a decent society one would hope so......but we are not talking anywhere near decent when we talk about the "policing" of matches involving Hibernian. The Polis (not so much the Celtic minded but don't be kidded by these ****s either ) like nothing better than to tick the arrest box, after the standard "free shots" against fans from the Capital and more so, Hibs fans.

I can only form my opinion on personal experience and would be delighted to hear of any "good news" stories. Until i do, I can only formulate my views against a backdrop of 50 years, and counting, of horrendous experiences of Hunnery - fans and Polis alike.

That was the norm unfortunately back in the day - 80's and 90's in the lower section of the Broomloan stand when the Weegie polis just stood by and did NOWT.

The day and age of CCTV will prevent the police from going into a stand (unless there are real issues) and identify the golf causing the bother. Safer to an extent.

As for Friday nite I think, for me anyway, it showed that the Club, stewarding and the police learnt nothing from the yams game. Just under 30,000 in a ground which holds over 50,000 and there are only half a dozen rows of seats between fans.

Why did they not just move the home support and give us the whole Broomloan end. Simple segregation there.

And Bhoys. WTF is all that about btw!!

Good to hear Big Frank seems to be jumping in at the deep end!

I don't think it would be a good idea for LD to join the supporters there, too easily recognised, and IMO just as likely as yet another Hibs goal to incite trouble.

There's a host of other folk who would be less recognisable and more responsible like, senior police officers, MSPs, SPFL and SFA who are all probably well aware of the issues at that stadium but chose to do nothing ... until pressured to do so, like in an election year ;-)

Police in Glasgow can't even police an Old Firm youth game, and didn't learn lessons from bother there previously, so what chance has a top level fixture have ?.

Without wishing this to become a police bashing debate, it saddens me no end that policing over the country is having to model itself on through there - as we saw last week from the 'consensual search' issue, they would be better served looking at how events and everyday law and order were/are policed in other areas of the country rather than through West - in my opinion.

Almost seems like they were inviting bother from that photo - utterly clueless and ridiculous to have rival fans that close, especially after the Hearts trouble and the off field emotions. I'd love to see the Match Commander's report explain his/her reasoning - baffling to say the least - mind they'll probably get promoted :faf:

The bit I could not understand was that to the right of the Hibs support (in their family stand) there were rows of 20-25 seats cordoned off creating a large gap whereas at the other side they were more or less sitting next to each other. Why did they not either

A) Move Hibs support along 5 or 6 seats when allocating tickets or
B) Create the same gap on the other side and move the The Rangers fans along?

That would have sorted things easily.

The entire club is just an utter shambles. They can't get anything right at all at the moment. There was just under 30,000 there. Bit busier than previous weeks. More than enough empty seats to make sure fans were nowhere near each other though

What difference does it make? Do you know the song ?

Maybe our version of the Celtic song (hail,hail) is just our way of saying a friendly hello?


I remember the Livi fans at the Cup Final singing, "You're just Celtic in disguise, you're just Celtic etc" after that song.

Not Hibs.

Honestly, a bit of pushing, shoving and goading from both sets of fans...is this now crowd trouble?? Both sets of fans were at it...the only issue that should be sorted is more gap between away fans and the home support to the left of the away fans

I always laugh at these situations. Folk 5 yards and 2 seats away from each other being 'held back' like there was a 12 foot wall in the way.

A hun season ticket holder in my local said they couldn't expand the away supporter's area because they'd have to put season ticket holders into different seats. That suggests the whole organisation of the ground is a shambles and there isn't a designated away support area. Why sell season tickets for sections which are where you put the away support? :doh:

That's a bit of Hun pish. What did they used to do when they played Celtic?

They sure as hell didn't give them 900 tickets.

I think they used to sell season tickets that didn't include old firm games so they weren't entitled to sit in the broomloan stand which was given entirely to away support. I'm not defending them because there was plenty of space but expect that's what they'll say (if ever called out).

Took this photo shortly after the first goal (but before the extra stewards got drafted in). Still can't believe how close both sets of fans were sat.

The young Hun I referred to earlier is clearly visible here - arms outstretched, standing on a seat goading Hibs fans!

How did hearts get 2000 tickets then ?

Good point, and the thing is The Rangers will have to honour these tickets for the rearranged game against hearts which gives them a problem. They will have to move the Rangers fans in order to provide appropriate segregation and try and prevent a reoccurrence of the trouble that happened at the previous game.

Why not Hibs? 45 years of going to ER says you are wrong.

GGTTH was originally a Spurs song, does that make it "not Hibs"

Excellent point, which makes it all the more nonsensical that we didn't get more tickets and that I had to sit in the huns end because of that decision.

Must be only a matter of time before Hibs are asked to provide an explanation for the trouble at Ibrox followed by a guilty as charged finding and a fine.

If such a situation was to arise I'd expect hibs to fiercely contest it and ask the governing bodies to look closely at the inadequate segregation procedures that The Rangers have. They refuse to increase our allocation and there's still trouble!! Certainly not Hibernians fault.

If you know your history:wink:

I'd recommend anyone starts with Alan Lugton's fantastic Trilogy. Would love to see the detail and the social history elements extended in to the 60,s and 70's. They would be interesting teams and times.

The whole Ibrox thing is a disgrace that's been a allowed to go on since, I suspect football began. It would be good to see that changed. Implementing responsible segregation needs clubs to have the baws to stand up to them. Maybe our club's new hierarchy are the folk to do it? It's not acceptable for fans to have to endure the nonsense in this day and age of otherwise sanitised football.

Watched the highlights again and noticed that EVERY steward surrounding the Hibs supporters appears to be facing the Hibs fans throughout the match. Why is that ?

Do they think any trouble is likely to be started by the away supporters, rather than them needing "protection" from the dirty Blue Noses sitting above and to the sides ?

Not true I'm afraid. Hector Nicol's song came out in the late 50's, Spurs started singing in the 60's. PS, I've just read Wikipedia & it says Hibs were first in UK!

Not sure of the accuracy of the Wiki entry. But, the general point is that football fans sing songs that get picked up by other fans? These songs become "their's ".

You're an old-timer Brog,:greengrinyou'll remember the terracing songs of the 70's ? They were often considerably less gentle delicate than today's chants,
