PSV players were targeted by a missile as they celebrated opening the scoring against Rangers in their Champions League play-off clash at Ibrox.

The Dutch side took a 36th minute lead when Ibrahim Sangare fired home to stun the Gers support.

The players congregated in front of the Union Bears section of the stadium in the Broomloan Stand as they lapped up the strike.

But pictures clearly show a cup with a straw in it flying through the air towards them as stunned Gers fans watch on.

The game ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw after a night of high drama at Ibrox.

But the missile incident came just hours after the Ibrox club had sent a warning to all fans to behave themselves at the crucial match as Gers bid to reach the elite group stages for the first time since 2010-11.

Rangers had said: "We are looking to create a Blue Sea of Ibrox and encourage supporters to wear the famous Royal Blue!

"Rangers are incredibly proud of the amazing atmosphere that our fans create at Ibrox and supporters are encouraged to exemplify the best of our support to cheer on the team on the cusp of returning to the Champions League group stages.

"This game has attracted an unprecedented level of media interest and thus, wider scrutiny.

"Please ensure that you represent our club in the correct manner and be mindful of previous incidents in Europe which led to sections of our stadium being closed."

SunSport has contacted Rangers for comment on the incident.
 
Not condoning this for a second as it’s moronic.

However what’s at least equally moronic is the article. It starts off with sensationalist language using “missile” then a paragraph down it says “cup and straw”.

Imagine the article if it was orange juice in it…..
 
If arseholes didn’t behaviour idiotically then these gutter rags wouldn’t be able to take delight in reporting it.

Non story, but it's a needless thing to do and probably nets us another 20k fine. Wonder how many cups you'd see getting thrown if it was coming out of their own pocket. It's probably more money than most supporters put into Rangers in their lifetime.

Good point. The club needs to announce a policy whereby any fan found guilty of contributing to the action that got us the fine is responsible for a percentage of the penalty amount given. You could make it reasonable but also punitive enough to ban 99% of these incidents.

but still...
a paper cup??
really?
 
I thought this was a joke.
A paper cup and straw?.
Not exactly something that could injure you although the way some of the PSV players were playacting they would probably feign injury from the straw.!!!
 
Can you imagine if it hit one of their diving cheating plastic bastard players. Their fans were as pathetic as their team - and I sit in GF1. Bunch of kid on bastards, doo them next week Rangers.

What proportion is it ?

I’m always fascinated by this theory that “it’s a different crowd”.

Really ? How many people are rocking up at Ibrox for Euro nights that aren’t season tickets holders ? A few thousand ? You’d think it was a whole different crowd.

Will see see these same “dregs of humanity” midweek v QOS? Do they also go to these midweek games ?

What you suggest is, I think, a lazy comfort blanket for the fact that on big midweek nights people are more inclined to have been drinking. And people who have been drinking tend to act irrationally.

Really. Brain dead xxxx throws something at opposition players in a UEFA champions league play off and you're not bothered. We have some of the greatest fans on the world and a miniscule minority of scumbags. Who causes us the problems with UEFA, certainly not the good guys.

What do you mean mate? Pretty sure according to the media in this country they are the best fans in the world and they blow opposition players kisses when they celebrate in front of them?
