ian1964 10,415 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 RANGERS have learned it WAS a Scottish campaigner behind the damning FARE dossier sent to UEFA. Gers face playing two Euro games behind closed doors and a hefty �£100,000 fine after they were hit with TWO charges of sectarian singing by supporters. The SPL champs have been targeted by anti-racism group FARE and are back in the dock following the recent Europa League last-16 clashes against PSV. FARE director Piara Powar insisted last week that his employee had no political, religious or football affiliations. But SunSport can reveal the person behind the complaint about Gers is a Scot. Rangers remain convinced a deliberate and targeted campaign exists against them. Just one Rangers fan was nicked in Eindhoven compared to 63 PSV arrests. And Gers want to know why no investigation into the Dutch club's supporters has been launched. An insider close to the investigation told SunSport: "There is concern about a lack of transparency. "No one is saying anyone has to be named publicly, but there has to be accountability in the process. "That is the only fair and just way of going forward so everyone can have confidence that an even-handed approach is taken." Gers chief Martin Bain will represent the club at the UEFA disciplinary hearing in Switzerland next week. But FARE chief Powar last night insisted: "The reports were gathered as part of an ongoing monitoring programme prompted by concerns at sectarian singing at previous Rangers matches in Europe. "There is debate in some quarters as to the qualification of the FARE observer at the games. "I can confirm the person involved has no political, religious or football affiliations that would bring into question their ability to act as a neutral observer. "There are suggestions emanating from Rangers of 'a deliberate and targeted campaign against the club', but we have no axe to grind with any club."

bluebear54 0 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 no a reporter!!!!!!!with the TIMES (allegedly) Now I think GS is the very person too. Given that newspapers have a commercial interest in propagating these kind of stories, FARE's idea of a neutral seems to have disappeared down the Clyde if the rumours are true. If they are true GS is finished as a journalist - and we have compelling reasons for the case against us to be dropped. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
