Reach out and help our rivals

Given recent large-scale displays of racist and sectarian behaviour by fans of Glasgow’s third-best-loved club, leading to Rangers becoming popularly known as “Scotland’s Shame” it is perhaps time to offer our support in assisting our neighbours.

Having already faced UEFA sanctions, no-one would wish to see unsavoury incidents further sully the name of the club.

But you can help.

The official Rangers website encourages self-policing in rooting out “unacceptable conduct” among the club’s supporters.

That is a message we heartily endorse.

And the club offers advice on how to help:

“If you witness any form of unacceptable behaviour, please advise a steward or police officer. You can write in confidence to Follow with Pride, Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, G51 2XD or telephone the incident hotline on 0871 702 1972^ and press option 6. You can also text 'RFC' and the match and date, details of the unacceptable behaviour you experienced, and location including stand, area, row and seat number where possible to 66099.”

So, remember you can help the club to implement its policy should you witness any such incidents tonight or on Sunday.

Reach out – they need help.
