Rangers Slam Own Fans After Being Charged For ‘Shameful’ Banner

Rangers Condemn Fans Over Controversial Banner in Europa League Match

Rangers Football Club has issued a strong statement condemning a section of their own supporters after UEFA charged the club over a controversial banner displayed during their Europa League match against Fenerbahce. The banner, which was seen in the home stands at Ibrox, carried a message reading: “Keep woke foreign ideologies out. Defend Europe.” UEFA has classified the banner as “racist and/or discriminatory,” leading to official charges against the Scottish club.

Despite Rangers securing victory in a tense penalty shootout and advancing to the quarter-finals, the incident has cast a shadow over the club’s progress. The club expressed deep disappointment, labeling the actions of those responsible as “shameful” and “embarrassing.” In an official statement, Rangers emphasized that the conduct of a small minority has put the club at risk of severe sanctions. The club also reaffirmed its commitment to being an inclusive and progressive institution that takes pride in its diverse squad, workforce, and fanbase.

Rangers made it clear that any form of discrimination is unacceptable and that the individuals involved in displaying the banner do not represent the values of the club. “If you do not believe that absolutely everyone is welcome to follow Rangers, whether at Ibrox or away, then Rangers is not the club for you,” the statement read, urging those who do not align with these principles to disassociate themselves from the club.

In addition to the banner controversy, UEFA has also charged Rangers for other incidents during the match, including the throwing of objects and the obstruction of passageways. The club acknowledged these additional infractions and pledged to address them appropriately. While standing in support of passionate fan engagement, Rangers urged supporters to reject any behavior that tarnishes the club’s reputation and could lead to further disciplinary action.

Looking ahead, Rangers are set to face Athletic Club in the Europa League quarter-finals while continuing their domestic campaign in the Scottish Premiership, where they currently trail Celtic by 13 points. As they navigate these challenges, the club remains focused on maintaining its integrity and ensuring that all supporters contribute to an environment of respect and unity.sex
