BEARGER 1,829 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 As everyone at Rangers FC prepares for a massive month of fixtures, the club reminds supporters the use of pyrotechnics is not only dangerous, but also illegal within sports stadia. Supporters who bring pyrotechnic devices to football matches are at risk of arrest and put the club at risk of football sanctions. Rangers regrets the display of pyrotechnics at Dens Park last month, which resulted in a fire alarm triggering, and our match with Dundee FC being temporarily suspended. This led to an investigation by the SPFL and has put Rangers in a position where a repeat has the potential for the club to be subject to disciplinary action. Rangers will continue to engage positively with the SPFL, Scottish FA, Police Scotland and the Scottish Government on this matter. The club thanks all our supporters for their fantastic, ongoing support during this busy spell of matches. https://rng.rs/3Ny58u3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,616 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Fans of other clubs have often been seen using pyrotechnics at Scottish football matches. I trust the powers that be will be consistent in this matter. Scotland - the health & safety capital of the world. 🤣 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the majority of those locations are dirt water shitholes the behavior doesn't seem out of place. I actually expect more from Europeans than playing with molten potassium while standing should to shoulder in a confined space. Idiots. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 God forbid these people would ever turn up at a Rangers game without their bag of performance accessories. One day they might forgo the need to be the centre of attention and just support the team. Beating a drum and lighting flares is an exercise in look-at-me. It isn't supporting the team. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protests of matches (toilet tissue on the pitch...numerous signs inside and outside the ground). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
