Rangers have expressed their strong disapproval towards a small group of fans whose actions have resulted in a UEFA charge. European football’s governing body has taken action against the Glasgow club after certain Rangers supporters displayed a controversial banner during the Europa League match against Fenerbahce.
In a statement released by the club, they expressed their disappointment and embarrassment over the situation, emphasizing that the actions of a minority should not reflect the values of the entire fanbase. Rangers highlighted their commitment to diversity and inclusivity, stating that they are a modern and progressive football club that welcomes everyone.
The statement also addressed the additional charges faced by Rangers from UEFA for incidents involving the throwing of objects and blocking of passageways during the Fenerbahce game. Despite recent successes in the Europa League and against Celtic, the club acknowledged that such behaviors have consequences and urged supporters to uphold the reputation of the club.
Rangers affirmed their support for passionate fan engagement within legal boundaries but emphasized the importance of rejecting any behavior that tarnishes the club’s image. They called on all reasonable supporters to challenge and address any issues that could lead to further repercussions from authorities.
Overall, the club remains committed to standing by their supporters while advocating for responsible and respectful behavior both on and off the pitch.
