Except in Glasgow apparently!Our fans are far better than made out.
Most of us are just ordinary folk who love our team and a wee beer.
Glad reputation enhanced.

My wife, not a football fan, asked me if it was a big game I was going to out watch !!!55 and this run have given me so much unadulterated joy too mate.
Leipzig was one of the best nights of my life.
Thank you Rangers & thanks fellow bears for the wonderful memories.
All bags there has the Rangers crest. We clearly sponsored/paid for the clean up. We noticed that before the game yesterdayCutlass Jnrs girlfriend lives a block away from The Almeda (the biggest fan zone) and said that once most of the Bears had left for the night there was a team of folk sweeping all the rubbish into the centre of the square and a big truck drove up and swept everything up, closely followed by another truck that followed behind and hosed the whole place down.
It took an hour to have the place looking pristine again....no fuss no big drama!
If that was George Square we'd still be knee high in cans and bottles two weeks on!
How can any scum fan think they have anyway to comment on our achievement, they were shite in Europe and got lucky with the league.
And newspaper headlines.

So would I.I’d have taken full scale riots and the media bashing our fans if it meant Tav lifted that trophy.
Im sure Sepp Blatter turned up at the piggery to pick up his paymentProbably
Never heard of any team getting it since.
An entracht fan came up to me after the game and said,
Your fans reacted so well in defeat.
Not sure if I was meant to punch him, but just said, well done.
Agree with the premise OP, but this should be the norm.
There was an expectation among fans (not just fans of Scottish clubs I should add) that Seville would get trashed.
Delighted it didn’t, just hope we continue in that form.

I replied “look, stupid (I actually said “Maza, doll” but I just fancy winding up the feminists and their apologists amongst us) this is the biggest game of my life”.
She said “that’s about the fifth time in the last year or so that you’ve said that”.
She’s right, as always of course, but thats what this season has done for us.
All those footballing highs over a short period, it’s been magnificent.

Was it really an expectation or more a desire.Agree with the premise OP, but this should be the norm.

We’ve played a good number of European games since Manchester, visited a lot of places, venues and drop offs, with next to no trouble whatsoever.
Okay, I get the numbers weren’t on the same level but where have the problems been?
I get the worry but this was grossly exaggerated by our haters to the point of hysterical, and manufactured, fear.
I’m sure many were desperate for trouble, desperate to put the boot in.
Great post. I’m still in Malaga and there is still 100s maybe 1000s here in good spirits.
Devastated but it’s been some journey.
Grigio - the wording on the sticker with the crest suggests it was club backed. It was along the lines of Rangers helping to keep Seville tidy.. a few beers means that's not entirely accurateThat’s a great shout. Could any of the admin guys on here get that confirmed ?
To the Shellick lurkers. Even the Frankfurt fans know that you are obsessed dicks. The weirdest club and fans in world football! Fark off back to Ireland ( probably not as even the Irish hate you).From a Frankfurt forum

I arrived in Seville on Wednesday afternoon after flying from Heathrow to Madrid and then train to Cordoba then onto Seville. Bears everywhere the whole way down and quite a few Franfkurt fans on the trains. There was absolutely no hostility, both sets of fans chatting about the game, our seasons, our Europa runs and sharing beers.
We went for a few beers in the old town (i think) and both sets of fans were mingling together and having a bit of a sing song. Again there was absolutely no aggro and everyone was just in party mode.
Getting to the stadium was where it started to get a little tricky. I walked round a corner and straight into a line of policemen and got twatted across the back and pushed over for my trouble. A Frankfurt fan and a couple of bears picked me up and moved me back into the crowd of people the police had held there. There wasn't any aggression from any of us but we had to stand there for another half hour until we were all allowed to move towards the ground.
I was in F41 which was a mixed area next to the Frankfurt fans and although there were definitely more of us in there, it wasn't by a huge amount. Lots of singing from both sets of fans and again not a single bit of bother. When we scored i celebrated with a complete stranger and we fell into a couple of Germans... who for the second time that day picked me up. When they scored they celebrated and we grumbled but again no trouble at all.
Extra time and penalties was fairly quiet. I think by that time the heat, lack of water and nerves started to kick in. Each penalty was cheered and when they won i shook hands with the 7 or 8 Frankfurt fans that i had been speaking to and sharing drinks with during the game, clapped the team and then left the stadium. On the 30 minute walk back to my apartment i didn't see any trouble, just a lot of dejected and tired bears.
I had to get the train back to Madrid early on Thursday and on the walk to the station you wouldn't have known there had been a game on the night before. Everywhere was spotless. On the journey home a few people said how unlucky we were and a few Frankfurt fans said they hope we meet in the Champions League next season.
I think we did ourselves proud.
