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.

What did they do to stop it. Did they fence off the area? No.

People saying the police should step in with batons and tear gas clearly don’t have a clue

I agree with you here.

Going in with batons and tear gas would have made things so much worse.

I'm sure we'll see a police response similar to the one after the Scottish Cup final in 2016, pictures in the media, absolute man hunt. Might even hold me breathe just waiting for it.

Clubs aren't responsible for the actions of their fans.

One part of me thinks a few cracked Hun heads is not "so much worse" 😁

But the sensible part of me agrees with you.

I know the rules. Understand your point. But did Rangers say Please don’t come to the ground. Then knowing they’d come did they do anything tos top them being so close to the ground?

Temazepam would have been far more productive.

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.

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.

Then these selfish ***** can take full responsibility for any of their friends and family who get covid from their celebrations. Idiotic, self absorbed cretins the lot of them.

Billy & Orangina your selfishness has killed granny. She won't get her 40th birthday party next week and it's all your fault.

[AugustaHibs]

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

Did Rangers say. Do not come to the stadium? Did they do anything to stop it. It is 100% up to them to encourage them to keep to the rules. Once the spike comes those fans will blame sturgeon for another look down.

Just like the non existent spikes that came after the BLM rallies that happened all over the world last June? What the fans did today wasn’t right but let’s not get hysterical over ‘waves’ that most likely won’t happen

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

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.

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.

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).
