A Rangers spokesperson said: “Rangers Football Club condemns the actions of the individual who threw a bottle during today’s match. This behaviour has no place at our stadium. Steps have already been taken to identify the person responsible, and the club will take the strongest possible action once their identity is confirmed. “We also acknowledge that the tifo displayed prior to kick-off crossed a line and was unacceptable. Our approach to supporter displays has always been built on trust, with the responsibility placed on groups to exercise good judgement. “We will reflect on how these displays are managed and engage with supporter groups to ensure the right balance of trust, responsibility and oversight is maintained moving forward. “Rangers is proud of its passionate fanbase, and we all share a duty to protect the standards and reputation of our club.” Press Association Send Tip or Correction Embed this post To embed this post, copy the code below on your site Email “Rangers condemn ‘unacceptable’ shotgun tifo display before Celtic match”.
