Rangers have released a strong statement condemning a fan TIFO displayed before today’s Old Firm derby against Celtic.

Barry Ferguson’s side earned a 1-1 draw against Champions Celtic in the final derby of the season.

Cyriel Dessers gave the Light Blues the lead in the first half, before Adam Idah levelled up the score line in the second half.

The club have issued a warning to fans after a glass bottle was thrown in the direction of Hoops goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo.

As well as slamming a TIFO that displayed the words ‘Take Aim At The Rebel Scum’ as the teams emerged from the tunnel.

The statement read: “Rangers Football Club condemns the actions of the individual who threw a bottle during today’s match.

“This behaviour has no place are 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 the 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 supporters 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.”
