Godwin ObajeRangers in “Big Trouble” Over Controversial Tifo
Rangers may be facing more trouble after a contentious tifo was displayed during the Old Firm derby against Celtic at Ibrox. The tifo, which featured an image of Graeme Souness pointing a shotgun, has been deemed to have “crossed a line” by the club.
Rangers’ Response
A Rangers spokesperson acknowledged that the tifo was unacceptable and betrayed the trust the club has placed in its supporters. “We also acknowledge that the tifo displayed prior to kick-off crossed a line and was unacceptable,” the spokesperson said.
Previous Incidents
This incident comes after Rangers were recently punished by UEFA for an offensive banner displayed during a Europa League match against Fenerbahce. The club was fined and given a suspended partial stadium closure.
Potential Consequences
The latest incident may land Rangers in further trouble, particularly given the ongoing takeover by 49ers Enterprises. Patrick Stewart will hope that the controversy does not escalate further.
Conclusion
The display of the tifo and the throwing of objects onto the pitch, including a glass bottle, have raised concerns about fan behavior at Ibrox. Rangers will need to take action to identify those responsible and prevent similar incidents in the future.
