Rangers released a statement today to unequivocally condemn what the club described as unacceptable disorder during the recent Old Firm fixture. The Glasgow club confirmed its full support for an independent review into the events, which the Scottish FA has now launched. This investigation follows several reports of crowd trouble and objects being thrown during the match at Ibrox.
According to Sky Sports, the governing body will examine security protocols and supporter conduct after the high-profile quarter-final tie. Rangers representatives stated that the club is assisting Police Scotland and football authorities with their ongoing enquiries. The club intends to identify those responsible for the disturbances and will apply appropriate sanctions, per reports from The Guardian.
Celtic progressed to the semi-finals following their victory on the pitch, but the focus has shifted to the safety of players and officials. The Scottish FA indicated that the findings of the review will help prevent similar occurrences in future matches. Rangers reiterated its commitment to providing a safe environment for all spectators at its stadium.
