    A statement from the club's chief executive Martin Bain read: "We have been informed tonight that we are now to be punished for alleged sectarian singing at Ibrox during the Europa League home game against PSV Eindhoven in addition to sanctions for alleged singing at the away match.


    "We are absolutely astounded by this latest development and will defend our club's position very, very vigorously.


    "We are still in the process of preparing our submission on the away game and to be confronted with this now seems chaotic to say the least.


    "We have never said that sectarian singing is not a problem but this now has all the hallmarks of a deliberate and targeted campaign against the club. What else are we expected to believe when UEFA officials give us favourable reports at our matches only to indict us later on the evidence of an outside unaccountable body?
    "We could not have done more to eradicate sectarian behaviour.


    "We will be seeking urgent meetings with UEFA at the highest level to address these issues.


    "It would appear that yet again UEFA have acted on a report from the FARE organisation when their own match delegate, this time from Northern Ireland, gave us a very favourable report."


    I'll bet he did. <laugh>

    Maybe they could hire a QC to defend themselves very very very very very vigorously?

    Someone should point Bain in the direction of edges thread on the issue and that will sort it. If the argue aboutthe word orange for long enough UEFA will let them off when they start laughing at Bains tan

    I expect this thread to be closed as the one pointing out the racist behaviour by celtic fans was, not holding my breath though.

    The thread is based on a current story and, unlike Girvan's thread, there is no sectarian or bigoted abuse from any of the posters who've contributed.

    That in itself tells you all you need to know about the difference in mentality between the two sets of supporters <ok>

    Not at all. It changes the whole context of your point.
