Rangers fans

[Monts]

Already been officially criticised for gathering outside Ibrox today, but according to open all mics, all the players and staff went to the gates at full time to applaud them.

[DaveF]

Probably in a bid to get them to **** off after being acknowledged.

Except all it does is encourage them to show up for the next game too

We would do the same if we won the cup or the league let’s be honest.

[Betty Boop]

And our fans wouldn't do the same if we won the league ?

They did, filmed live on Soccer Saturday. Even Jeff suggested they shouldn’t be doing it.

Admins can we please **** this thread off as the hun and their toxic support have no place on a family forum.
**** the hun

That will be fun as its at Darkheid

Already reported as ‘no arrests’, now there’s a shock...not!

[Billy Whizz]

No arrests earlier either

[Tommy75]

No arrests made (probably no fines issued either). Rangers players go to the gates to celebtate with the fans.

I wonder if Police Scotland will respond in a similar way to the 2016 SC final. Surely enough evidence to trace down the fans. Will there be a mass media condemnation of the actions of the fans and players? Doubt it.

[Since452]

Rangers* fans make up their own rules. Always have. Thick as mince. Unfortunately they're allowed to continue breeding with each other.

[Bishop Hibee]

And our fans wouldn't do the same if we won the league ?

Given the right wing politics of a lot of sticky bun fans there will be a higher proportion of Covid deniers in the support. I dare say some would turn up at ER in the unlikely event as Saintees fans did last week but not in such numbers. No wonder the rate is higher in the weej.

[Monts]

I'm not saying there wouldn't be hibs fans there if we won the league. But given its currently illegal to do so, the club would be heavily criticised it they were encouraging it.

Your first sentence is utter nonsense.

[twiceinathens]

And how many celebratory house parties will there be?

[Booker5time]

I know we suppose to hate the Rangers, but is anyone really suprised ? Fans have been locked out of grounds for nearly a year now with no social interaction with the club or players and about to win the league.

Can anyone honestly say if we where about to win the league. we would not be doing the same.

Just look at what Leeds and Liverpool fans did when they won there leagues.

[calumhibee1]

And our fans wouldn't do the same if we won the league ?

They haven’t won the league.

The club should be absolutely hammered. The players are encouraging it and have shown they’ll participate. Imagine how many will turn up next week when they will actually win the league now.

[Sir David Gray]

We?

I wouldn’t, would you?

I think it was more of a collective "we".

Of course there would be Hibs fans gathering outside Easter Road if we were on the brink of winning the title.

[Iggy Pope]

Your first sentence is utter nonsense.

The first 12 words in his sentence are irrefutable ....

[HibeeHibernian4]

I'd hope/expect our players to have done the same if we'd won the League Cup (and yes, there would have been fans out partying on the streets if that had happened).

[Dashing Bob S]

We would be the very same.

We would NOT get the very same response from the police or the footballing authorities.

Exactly, look at the way the Glasgow media pilloried the club/ supporters in 2016.
Listened to comments on radio, they were all saying positive things about " the good natured rangers fans" could " understand as they have waited for so long for success". Aye right.
Had that been any support apart from the ugly sisters, then the attitude would be so different.
Christ, they haven't even won the league yet, ( I know it is almost but hey, I am being pedantic).

If it was Hibs the police would be getting stuck in about them.

[Chorley Hibee]

Think back to the witch-hunt that the authorities and press waged upon Hibs and their support after the cup-final.

Now watch the same people do/say nothing about behaviour like this in the midst of a global pandemic.

You couldn't mark their necks with a blowtorch.

[Glory Lurker]

On one hand, football fans again behave in a way that explains why football fans are viewed the way they are by decision makers, and on the other football players by encouraging them show that they don't realise how privileged a position they have enjoyed over the last seven months.

As someone who sticks to the rules this all does my nut in regardless of the added insult of it being the orcs. And yes, I wouldn't have been near ER if we'd won the Scottish or the League Cup.

[660]

Imagine going bust, working your way up over 10 years with a lot of piss taking and misery then a pandemic hitting once your club finally achieved something so you can’t even go to the games or the pub.

You then have to make do with letting off some flares outside the stadium then slinking back to rub one out over your picture of the queen.

Unlucky huns. The pubs were magic after 21/05. You’ll never know what it could have been like.

[Hibs90]

Anyone seen Josh Taylor (supposed Hibs fan) tweet congratulating them?

Your living in cloud cookoo land if you think they are gonna be bothered about that and not partying in houses, back gardens, man caves anyway.

They have stopped the holy grail of ten in a row for an old firm fan.

[Pretty Boy]

Hibs fans are no different from other fans. If we won something, fans would gather at the ground in numbers.

Liverpool fans, Leeds fans, St Johnstone fans and now Rangers fans have all been there in the last year. I know some like to believe Hibs fans are cut from a different cloth but the reality is that many would act in exactly the same way.

Was there a massively different response from the Police towards St Johnstone fans last week? I know the numbers involved would be different but was there many arrests? Water cannons? Baton charges?

[Bishop Hibee]

Your first sentence is utter nonsense.

Really? There was research done recently which showed people who voted for Brexit were more likely to be Covid deniers. Take a look at social media and you’ll see Rangers fans have more right wing views than other fan groups. I’ve had two conservative councillors commenting on a post I put on Twitter and guess which team they supported....

[hibbysam]

Anyone seen Josh Taylor (supposed Hibs fan) tweet congratulating them?

Hibs fan my arse.

He is a Hibs fan, to say otherwise is wrong 😂 he’s also in a ticket selling business and after winding them up for years, will now be looking to get as many as possible onside.

[The Spaceman]

This will be the biggest league title in any of their lives. They’ve been through a lot of hurt since 2010 and have just stopped their bitter rivals from achieving history with 10IAR. If that was Hibs in that situation, we’d all be calling those celebrations brilliant. It’s almost like saying if we’d won the Scottish Cup this year instead of 2016 that everyone would have stayed home - not a chance!

[gbhibby]

Who cares let them celebrate their first major trophy.

[Sylar]

Liverpool, Leeds, St Johnstone last week...it's hard to criticise them today - they are, after all, set to win their first ever trophy as a club.

Must have been between 10-20k outside Ibrox today from what I saw - I watched the match with my in-laws (who have access via their virtual season tickets and Rangers TV) and the players did indeed run to one of the exits after the game to celebrate with them. They were still very distant though.

It doesn't look great in a global pandemic, and I find myself annoyed (given how high case numbers are in Glasgow) and unsurprised in equal measures. Having said that, they didn't win the league today...

[Andy74]

Too right I would.

Okay. I haven’t been in my parents’ house for nearly a year now so I could probably wait for a football gathering until we aren’t in a full lockdown.

[chrisski33]

Some of the Hibs support would have done the same the majority wouldnt. the rangers players should have not charged over to the gates but they did. Will they get punished for it no? Would Hibs fan get punished for being at ER if we were in same position? Probably yes or at least moved on. Authorities are too scared of the Old Firm.

[Vault Boy]

I think you're well within your rights to criticise the fans that attended a large gathering during the pandemic, regardless of hypotheticals about our own support.

If we'd just won a cup and a bunch of Hibs fans rocked up at ER or Hampden during lockdown, I'd call them selfish pricks too. As it happens, Hibs fans haven't done that, Rangers fans have, and that makes them selfish pricks.

[B.H.F.C]

The fans you can almost understand. Any club who has won something it’s happened.

But players joining in is a joke. Gerrard hanging out of the dressing room window to join in.

How were St Johnstone fans dealt with last week?

Genuine question as it would be good to point out the different approach of the Police to Rangers fans when the topic inevitably comes up across various online platforms and in real life over the coming weeks when it inevitably happens again.

No reports of any arrests as far as I can see, or fines being handed out. Would imagine the exact same as today.

[Brightside]

That’s a ****ing disgrace. Club should be heavily fined. Glasgow will now have a spike and our exit from lockdown will get ****ed up by smelly little *******s in govan.

[SteveHFC]

If we can’t get fans into Hampden for the Euro’s due to these idiots i’ll be not surprised.

[gbhibby]

Expect pictures to be released by the Daily Record caption "do you know these people" I think not, but after all they are breaking the law

Agree 100%. Apart from a few cases of handbags at the 2016 final there was no real danger to anyone. And yet we got a massive police operation afterwards and our fans were torn apart in the press.

We now have a deadly virus that's killed 100k+ in this country, with Sevco fans actions genuinely putting people at risk of dying or developing very serious, long term health issues. And all because they've had to wait 10 years for a trophy they've won 50+and times anyway (according to the football authorities at least).

And we will hear nothing about this in a couple of days time.

[Pretty Boy]

No reports of any arrests as far as I can see, or fines being handed out. Would imagine the exact same as today.

Thanks. Obviously different numbers involved but that seems consistent.

Fwiw Rangers as a club should be in bother for their manager and players engaging with the crowds (as should St Johnstone if it happened with them).

In these situations I think the police are always likely to take a passive approach though regardless of who the fans involved are. It would seem the 2 real life examples we have back that up.

As much as we would all love it, the police don’t have the resources nor the stupidity to Wade into a huge crowd of thousands and start arresting or fining. Likewise at the protests/marches last year during lockdown 1.

I’m also not sure how you would punish a club who’s players stayed confined to their stadium for celebrating. I doubt there will be any rule available for that.

[hibbysam]

Deleted.

Resulting in the rest of us falling behind again? No thanks. The sooner this sorry episode is over the better.

[Jones28]

Police will need to be on high alert for next weekend because if Rangers fans turn up to celebrate at Celtic Park you can guarantee there will be trouble.

Sorry, but why should the club be hammered? They haven’t invited them into ibrox on the pretence of free bevy and a seat in the ground to watch the game?

[Sir David Gray]

Sorry, but why should the club be hammered? They haven’t invited them into ibrox on the pretence of free bevy and a seat in the ground to watch the game?

The club's not to blame for the fans turning up in the first place but I do think the players and staff were completely in the wrong for going to acknowledge the fans at full time.

The authorities should be taking a dim view of that.

[Brightside]

That’s the police’s job, not Rangers’. Not sure what you expect them to do, block off the streets around the stadium meaning cars and emergency vehicles can’t get up and down? What can they do about the paths?

As for the players, the fans were already there, not sure it made any difference that they went over to the fans, not like it was planned so the fans knew to hang about.

Rangers release a statement asking fans not to come to the ground.... how many of them do you honestly think would listen? I hate the huns as much as anyone but you can’t charge the club over it. Same as what’s happened when a side has won a title in almost every country on the planet

Whilst I agree that Rangers should not be punished for their fans turning up at Ibrox, I do think that the responsible thing to have done would have been to publicly urge their fans not to turn up.

It's been well known over the past week or so that this gathering was planned for yesterday's match and a responsible club would have communicated a message to its fans to urge them to stay away and certainly wouldn't have indulged them by allowing the players to go and acknowledge their presence at the end of the game.

Hearts and Liverpool both released statements prior to the Scottish Cup final and the Premier League victory respectively to tell their fans not to attend. Fans would have probably still turned up at Ibrox regardless but at least the club's then done all it can.

I get your point about the fans already being there, but the players running over to celebrate with them endorsed them being there.

As for Gerrard's comments "That's the priority - people's safety. But if you've got anything inside you or any part of your heart can understand what the fans have been through, you can totally understand what's gone on outside this stadium" - absolute nonsense.

[Squealing pig]

Don’t get the horse cavalry in for the rangers

[TelaStella]

Football fans will be football fans. The damage was done some time ago when the inevitability sank in they were winning it. watching their subsequent celebrations really count for nothing at this point, irrespective of lockdown. They will have their day like we would of had ours.

Hardly anybody wearing a mask so will be easy to identify

[CentreLine]

Not the The Rangers’ fault all those dafties turned up yesterday. However, there is no doubt in my mind that the club ramped things up by going out and sharing the experience. By that simple act they have openly encouraged this behaviour by fans and I think they have teed things up for a huge disturbance at Parkhead for their next game. It doesn’t really matter what happens today with Celtic, either The Rangers are going to win the league at Parkhead or it will be their first outing as champions. Ever really. We can now expect a similar or even larger crowd outside Parkhead to celebrate and I cannot see that happening without a similar number of dafty Celtic supporters. T the e consequences of that are not hard to predict.
The Rangers could and should have come out with a statement to discourage their fans yesterday and in no circumstances should they have joined in.

[calumhibee1]

Sorry, but why should the club be hammered? They haven’t invited them into ibrox on the pretence of free bevy and a seat in the ground to watch the game?

The players as good as came out and encouraged it.

The club should be distancing themselves from this as much as possible. Instead they’ve gave fans even more encouragement to do it again next weekend.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

The rangers and their fans will not be punished for this. Scottish football as a whole will. It's ****ing mental. You want to stop this from happening? Punish the club and it will trickle down to the fans (unless of course, it's this lot, that would cause a riot).

There will be no punishment, there will be no penalty. The team are one point off winning the league and haven’t had a single penalty against them all season. Why change now?

[hibIBZ]

Whether fans of other clubs have or would have done the same if they had won something, it's still extremely irresponsible at the moment. The rangers won't be hammered for this as it's hardly their fault, even if they could of done more to diffuse it. Football will get hammered for this, I think any chance of fans at Hampden for the euros is now gone, we will be lucky to have fans in by October now

Why? The numbers are unlikely to rise from this, and we’ll follow the same path we were always going to follow. It’ll have absolutely no bearing of when fans are allowed back into the stadiums.

[GreenCastle]

Whilst I agree that Rangers should not be punished for their fans turning up at Ibrox, I do think that the responsible thing to have done would have been to publicly urge their fans not to turn up.

It's been well known over the past week or so that this gathering was planned for yesterday's match and a responsible club would have communicated a message to its fans to urge them to stay away and certainly wouldn't have indulged them by allowing the players to go and acknowledge their presence at the end of the game.

Hearts and Liverpool both released statements prior to the Scottish Cup final and the Premier League victory respectively to tell their fans not to attend. Fans would have probably still turned up at Ibrox regardless but at least the club's then done all it can.

Agreed.

Haven’t seen anything on Rangers social media - though didn’t look too long as it’s full of nonsense.

I’m sure Celtic park had fencing around it a while back - surprised they didn’t do that at the key hot spots yesterday.

Will be interesting to see if the league goes to next weeks old firm and what happens after that.

The most frustrating part of these gatherings are it rubs it in the faces of folk who can’t attend funerals etc due to number restrictions and then Glasgow folk complain when cases have been so high compared to other parts of Scotland and wonder why lockdown is so slow to be lifted.

Rangers had smaller barriers, however the difference is Ibrox sits right on the main road, Celtic park at the players entrance has a huge amount of private area around it that can be cordoned off safely. To cordon Ibrox off youd have to shut roads and public paths off and that’s not possible (apart from by the police).

[CropleyWasGod]

There's no mechanism for a penalty. We don't have strict liability.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be different from a regular match day with fans ?

Surely the road in front of main stand could have had some barriers up.

Anyway don’t expect this to the be the last of the Huns nonsense. They are celebrating their 1st title like they have done 10 in a row. Don’t forget they were beaten by St Mirren in league cup this season..they will exit the Europe League soon too. They may get the double but really missed out on a treble as everyone else is so poor this year.

That’s entirely down to the police. On a normal match day there would be 50,000 fans there and the main road behind the stand would be cordoned off. I’m sure that’s a process that has to go through the council, the police etc. Rangers can’t just go around blocking roads and paths off in case some fans show up at the ground.

Think you have answered your own question.

Folk knew this was going to happen and lack of effort to make it secure / Covid safe was ignored or half arsed.

The video of the police officer being knocked over too seems to have been ignored mostly also.

[Greenbeard]

Expect more of the same this afternoon if Tic don't win.
Given the highly irresponsible actions of its employees y'day, in particular the club figurehead, which far from discouraging an illegal gathering will actually encourage greater illegal behaviour (whether this afternoon or whenever the title is formally decided), the club and their figurehead will have to issue some form of discouragement to gather even if such discouragement will never be fully effective.
The club maybe can't be held responsible for their fans gathering but they are vicariously liable for the actions of their employees if such actions cause harm. Specific "harm" in this case would be difficult to prove, and of course it would never get that far, but there is no doubt in my mind that the players' and manager's actions y'day were harmful to our nationwide and global endeavours to reduce the impact of the pandemic.
Not to issue a discouragement to gather would be highly irresponsible of the club. But I'm not holding my breath.

[Keith_M]

I had to listen to really loud Fireworks going off for ages last night, so I presume they were at it for hours.

Maybe its better to not gather in rabid, non mask wearing groups in close proximity in the first place to reduce the chances of a spreader event? Especially amongst hoardes of ****wits who are allergic to soap and water at the best of times.

[Greenbeard]

Very premature. But that's probably habitual for many of them.

[Eyrie]

Sevco aren't responsible for the horde of knuckledragging bigots that turned up outside Ibrox, although they should have made a comment beforehand asking that everyone stayed away.

However Sevco are responsible for their players going over to see their fans. That would see action being taken in the same way that St Mirren and Kilmarnock were held accountable earlier this season, but we all know that there's one rule for Scottish football and another for the Ugly Sisters. I don't recall any pandemic in 2016.

There’ll be thousands of rangers fans there, especially after yesterday when the players have shown they’re more than happy to join in.

It’s fine though, they’ve won the league so the rest of the country can just stay in lockdown for longer if it causes an outbreak. I mean who can blame them? :rolleyes:

I'm sure Lothian Buses have recently cut services to somewhere in the city (Clermiston maybe?) because of anti social behaviour. Scotrail should do likewise. Why should their staff be put in danger so Rangers fans can attend a party?

This is the same club who wanted everyone on the pitch in 2016 arrested. Remember their crayon etched statement about their players being endangered by marauding Hibs supporters?

Yet, now that these ***** are endangering us all, there is nothing to say about it.

I also look forward to the page upon page of numbered pictures highlighting all the Rangers support who broke lockdown restrictions this weekend in the coming editions of the Daily Record/Sun.

Police Scotland will undoubtedly pursue every person involved for the next year at considerable taxpayer expense too.

No arrests made (probably no fines issued either). Rangers players go to the gates to celebtate with the fans.

I wonder if Police Scotland will respond in a similar way to the 2016 SC final. Surely enough evidence to trace down the fans. Will there be a mass media condemnation of the actions of the fans and players? Doubt it.

I took a then girlfriend to Ibrox years ago. The 1-1 game when Stokes scored a brilliant equaliser.

Anyway we were right at the barrier between fans and a guy was giving us grief the whole game. He was wearing a New York Rangers ice hockey top (that was straining at his gut which takes some doing), a pair of Union Jack sunglasses and had an Israel flag wrapped around his shoulders.

I remember said girlfriend saying she wouldn't let me out the house to go to the football dressed in a way that was remotely comparable. Although looking at this guy the chances of him ever having been near a woman was pretty slim.

I sincerely hope not, that would be a pretty disproportionate reaction.

I'm not sure what could be within the government's powers to "deal with them" anyway.

Stopping the season? They won't do that as they'll not want to punish the players for the actions of supporters by the same token that they didn't deem it appropriate to punish the supporters because of the misbehaviour of the players (Aberdeen players and Bolingoli etc).

They might delay the return of fans but the return of fans is probably 5 or 6 months away anyway so that probably doesn't make much difference.

They could hit them wi the 10k fines that have been handed out to crowds supporting the NHS in their fight for more than a 1% pay rise.
****ing disgrace that these unwashed cretins get away with what they get away with.
Fine them all and let the dogs loose on the mouthy ones also amazed that some on here are standing up for them this a club that died a while ago and who have just won their first trophy.

It’s lucky you have to be human to catch COVID so these huns should be ok

I don’t think any Rangers fans vote SNP. 😂

The bizarre thing is going back not a million years there would have been a fairly hefty left wing element among Rangers fans. The rank and file involved in the 'red Clydeside' era were unlikely to have been dominated by Celtic supporters. Equally Labour didn't dominate electorally in Glasgow for decades without the support of Rangers fans.

Many of those aligning themselves with populist right wing politics will have their Grandads turning in their grave. It's a strange person that can't separate their football allegiance from their political ideology, it appears an increasing issue for a lot of Rangers fans though.

On the flip side though in the privacy of the polling booth I think a few must be voting SNP. Alison Thewliss didn't take Glasgow Central, incorporating the old Bridgeton seat among others, without 1 or 2 hun votes.

Absolutely right. The men and women of Red Clydeside would be disgusted by what their spawn have become. Opportunists like newly turned fascist George Galloway are courting them now.

The Dundee born Celtic fan? I agree he’s pretty reprehensible, but fascist?

It wouldn’t just be Rangers fans not voting for them in may if she took the huff and ignored the science.

[Radium]

I sincerely hope not, that would be a pretty disproportionate reaction.

I'm not sure what could be within the government's powers to "deal with them" anyway.

Stopping the season? They won't do that as they'll not want to punish the players for the actions of supporters by the same token that they didn't deem it appropriate to punish the supporters because of the misbehaviour of the players (Aberdeen players and Bolingoli etc).

They might delay the return of fans but the return of fans is probably 5 or 6 months away anyway so that probably doesn't make much difference.

There are two real negatives that could come out of this.

The league could be asked to account for the behaviour over the weekend and explain how they are going to stop it being repeated. When they correctly say that they don’t control people’s actions outside the ground, the top league is suspended.

Due to the large crowds, involving individuals from across the country, a delay may be added to the review of lockdown measures to see if it leads to an increase.

I don’t think either will ultimately happen but it is not too difficult to see what could happen.

And flouted the law.

We’ll be in lockdown for some amount of time if we’re waiting for nobody to be breaking the law before coming out. If the science shows the numbers are continuing to go down and we should be moving out and she keeps us in because of this then she will rightly lose a ton of votes.

It was a disgrace they weren't put down to the bottom

[Hibernia&Alba]

Even though the pubs are shut (we should be thankful for that) they just can't help themselves. Anyway, perhaps super-spreader events in Larkhall and Airdrie wouldn't be so bad. It would actually be good for the gene pool :greengrin

Gonna be funny when 4 hearts fans turn up at the piazza del demotion with flares to celebrate when they win the league

Your average Hun has no understanding of history, unless it's the Battle of the Boyne. They will happily vote against the things their ancestors fought for, just to be staunch and to oppose anything they perceive as 'Fenian'. If that means voting Tory - for a party that doesn't give a toss about them - fine.

The police at some point will have to take action, this is embarrassing for Scotland, I have seen guys in taxis and on trains on Twitter all heading to Glasgow all having a bevvy, it will be carnage later on, and the players having a party at the training ground with loads of fans.

If they get away with this then that means to me anyone can go visit other family members and meet your friends. Makes a mockery of the lockdown and the restrictions.

Why the **** should myself have to stay in and suffer while these mutants think they can do what they want and get away with it.

That’s the problem when everyone was told to move on and rangers had had Thier punishment This sort of attitude was always going to resurface

They missed marching season last year I see then.

[Ronniekirk]

There was a strong chance of speeding up the return to “normal” this week. I think we can wave good bye to that now.

Think it will just be football that suffers unless they carry on partying all week of course

Yeah. Not to be confused with the orange marching parades or whatever the **** they are called.

It is mate. To me that says lockdown is over as why should the majority of the population have to stay in and suffer.

That will tell them, I'm sure they'll head home now. See give the authorities 5 minutes and it's all sorted.

That’s an unusual sight police actually on foot patrolling the streets not seen them for years down my street allowing the junkies to run amok but hey they’re under staffed aye when it suits them rant over

Torch them. Alternatively fine their benefits and put it towards Covid care homes.

If there's not thousands of pictures of those involved released over the coming weeks I'll be disappointed.

They were happy to wage that kind of witch hunt against Hibs fans for having a wee sing and dance on a pitch for 10 minutes.
