Anyone see the Rangers fan who climbed the floodlight yesterday, took his shoe off and started the crowd singing the sash. In return the crowd belted out "No surrender spiderman." Quality. Poor bloke probably spent a night in the cells though.
Police have arrested a man following trouble which flared up during the new Rangers' first game outside top-flight football. The 23-year-old man was detained for breach of the peace after climbing a floodlight during the away match to Brechin City. Other fans set off smoke bombs and made sectarian remarks during the game, which ended in a 2-1 win for Rangers. Tayside Police said the trouble was caused by a minority. Officers said most of the capacity 4,100 support at Glebe Park conducted themselves "in an entirely appropriate way". A police spokesman said: "The crowd were in good spirits as the game moved into extra time and the atmosphere was excellent. "A minority tried to disrupt the game by setting off smoke bombs, with one person shouting sectarian remarks and another climbing on a floodlight structure. "A 23-year-old male was arrested for a breach of the peace in relation to the floodlight incident and enquiries are ongoing in conjunction with Strathclyde Police to identify those responsible for the other offences. "The actions of the minority should not overshadow the football game that was well attended, well supported, with fans from both sides conducting themselves in an entirely appropriate way." Lee McCulloch scored the winning goal in extra time during the Ramsdens Cup tie. The match was the new Rangers' first competitive outing since the club's financial troubles saw it go into administration and voted into the Irn-Bru Third Division. Tut Tut
I wonder in scottish football's new found integrity guise, what will happen if it's discovered that some of those causing trouble actually support another team. (or maybe they just hate rangers more than they love any other team) you just never know nowadays with the amount of sad bigoted people still sick at the fact rangers are still in business.
