RANGERS Football Club tonight announced that disciplinary proceedings taken against the Club by UEFA has led to the following sanctions being imposed on the Club. In relation to allegations of sectarian singing and chanting by supporters at the Club's match against PSV Eindhoven in Holland on March 10, the Club has been fined 40,000 euros and banned from selling tickets to supporters for its next two away UEFA fixtures. The ban on ticket sales in relation to one of the matches is suspended for three years. In relation to similar allegations at the Club's match against PSV Eindhoven at Ibrox on March 17, the Club has been fined 40,000 euros and banned from selling tickets for one home UEFA match with that ban suspended for three years. Martin Bain, Chief Executive, said: "We are bitterly disappointed that our club has been placed in a position where we are subjected to these kind of sanctions by UEFA. "We will consider our position when we receive the written reasons for the decision which are expected in a week or so. "The Club put its own case very forcibly to UEFA and the more draconian sanctions that were recommended by the disciplinary inspector have been mitigated to a degree. "To be clear, we condemn sectarianism and there is no doubt the mindless behaviour of an element of our support has exposed the Club to a very serious situation. The people who engage in this type of behaviour are damaging the Club they claim to support. It is abundantly clear from this decision that if there is any sectarian singing at future matches the suspended bans will take effect. Those fans who engage in such activity need to take that message on board. "The majority of our fans understand the situation and would much rather focus on football. They show that clearly at Ibrox and the tremendous atmosphere they created at last weekend's Old Firm match was a case in point. "In terms of the UEFA case brought against us, we have had serious concerns about the integrity of the evidence compiled by the FARE organisation and that remains the case. "We are also of the opinion that FARE has been influenced by people who make it their business to damage our Club in any way they can. We are committed to the eradication of sectarianism and believe it would have been more constructive for FARE to work with our Club rather than against it. Instead, they submitted evidence to UEFA with a clear objective in mind and have shown a complete lack of transparency or accountability when asked for clarification on various aspects of that evidence." My eyes were drawn to this particular part: "We are also of the opinion that FARE has been influenced by people who make it their business to damage our Club in any way they can. Well done Bain, now name the bastards.
But it does not change the fact that Bain is mentally ill. We are also of the opinion that FARE has been influenced by people who make it their business to damage our Club It's laughable, especially for some Fenians.
Come on now. That statement is absolutely 100% accurate. the FARE report was absolutely and certainly influenced by people who make it their business to damage the club. He must have been talking about the sectarian bigots within the Rangers sang the songs.

You Trev and Conspiracy boy seem to have some sort of 6th sense that can tell you when someone is "beeling". How do you know that from what I and others type? Simple answer is that you don't, it's simply one of the oldest tricks in the wanabee Wum book. I am just commenting on the irony of you attempting to say that me and Rebel only agree on things in an attempt to "gang up" on people, i think it's patently clear that we each have our own minds and therefore our own opinions, we will occasionaly agree of course but we don't do so for the sake of it. That's just your paranoia kicking in.
I posted that before i read the rest of it..... I'll have to fall out with you now over something....you prick
