Haha. Funny that the Rangers board are ‘raging’ with their supporters conduct. Maybe they should have done something about it rather than join in with the songs themselves and blame everyone else for everything.
Cue the media moaning and bleating that it's really horrible and unfair to poor wee Rangers and how they were definitely absolutely really going to do something about it themselves this time.
I haven't read their statement yet, but I'm sure it's something along the lines of "blah blah we think this is an affront to the Gers and also Celtic have done it loads of times and nothing happened."
This really shows up the SFA and the SPFL for what they are. They have turned a blind eye to the constant sectarian singing from both the old and new Rangers.
Interesting to see the board immediately accept this decision, no outrage, no statements. They know that UEFA would not take any of their nonsense.
Strict liability - it's the only way to deal with the scourge sectarianism in Scottish football. The SFL need to have the same courage when it comes to domestic matches.
Well done UEFA. If they do it again, ban them from European competition and see if they get the message :top marks
Long overdue
Well done EUFA
BREAKING NEWS
@RangersFC say they have been ordered to close a section of Ibrox for next week's Europa League qualifier v Legia Warsaw due to "racist behaviour" and "sectarian singing"
More on @SkySportsNews
A disgusting club that should be shut down (again)
Must be a statement imminent surely? 😂
BREAKING NEWS
@RangersFC say the offences occurred during the home game v St Joseph’s on July 18
UEFA have ruled a section of no fewer than 3000 seats must be closed during the club’s next European home game
A statement from Rangers reveals they must shut off "a section, or sections containing no fewer than 3000 seats. Average £30 per ticket that’s £90,000
So how does that work? Who complained, and how did the complainant know that the chanting was sectarian?
I'm wondering because, we cant seem to do anything in this country, and we supposedly speak the same language.
Its the equivalent of a dirty infirm player moving to England with an exemplary disciplinary record, and gets his first banning after about 5 games. They dont get away with it in England, and are found out for the hacker they are!
This shows our authorities up for what they are! The collective "we" could stop it. But we dont.
BREAKING NEWS
@RangersFC chairman Dave King:
“Rangers has players & supporters from many religions, cultures and backgrounds, but we are one and the same when we gather to support our club. If any supporter can not accept that then Rangers is not the club for them.”
I hope the SFA/SPFL/police/ Scottish Government take notice.
This is how to deal with sectarianism / racism.
#Rangers message to fans: 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.
So if game does not sell out what would the point be?
Of course it is a minority spoiling it for the rest of them :wink:

If you want a laugh..
No point complaining about the SFA and Spfl when Hibs are happy to turn a blind eye to them doing at Easter Road.

It's really strange how The Rangers fans only act like that in European matches.
Very puzzling...
I really like Dave King's comments.
We've been waiting for more than a century for this sort of talk from within Ibrox.
Credit where it's due...........
It also shows our own authorities up for what they are when you can have people within Rangers acting like normal people off the back of a single punishment.
A waste of time if it's only 3k seats. Only about 5% of the stadium capacity.
^^Agreed.
Fair play to Rangers this time.
They’ve accepted it and haven’t tried to shift the blame nor mention Celtic at all.
If it keeps happening I’d imagine more and more seats will have to be left empty.
