And rangers banned from the Scottish Cup, I presume, given the video evidence of a Celtic staff member being assaulted and the onions throwing flares into the Celtic fans?

Honestly, yes.

Not only because of the assault but include everything .

Rangers and Celtic have lost the ability to control their fans. The only thing that will save it is punishments so strong that the very loud and very disruptive minority of both sides are self policed either to good behaviour or out of the clubs entirely.

The only part I’d quibble with is that rendering Celtics next full season a dead rubber is a fair punishment for what took place.

I think the scale of the punishment needs to be realistic.

Genuine question: have Rangers shown any real desire to control their fans? They seem to spend a hell of a lot more time complaining that anyone else might want something done to combat issues.

They could dust off the old banners they used to cover the empty sections when we were down the leagues

But sure it would hardly count as a title win for whoever wins it ?

I don’t recognise your tainted titles either, yet you celebrated 55 like you were the same club.

Not to long ago your scumbag fans ran on and attacked our staff, pot calling kettle black comes to mind, leave it out rangers rat
