Saw someone throw a cup in the club deck. It was empty so obviously wasn’t a problem but did they genuinely think they could get it to reach the pitch
2 observations on the incident.Reminds me of the time scubastan nearly died after getting hit with one.
Is everyone ok?
Makes licking stamps and envelopes feel like an enjoyable hobby.Was it a plastic straw or a paper straw,i hate paper straws.
It may have been a female.Whoever threw it should get their baws kicked.
Send him/her the fine.The Sun reporting on it is relatively unimportant, if the UEFA observers mention it in their report we'll get a sizeable fine.
Anyone throwing ANYTHING onto the pitch, particularly in European games that are more highly scrutinised, needs their baws booted!
If it gets the club another fine you should be.Struggling to feel bothered by this.
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."

The best he can come up withSeriously, is that the best they can come up with?
Fucking tragic.
The last straw. They'll want us bannedOh a straw
Or one of these transgender people,things or whatever they're calledIt may have been a female.

If that was at all possible I'd be all for it...and then ban them from Ibrox for a very long time!Send him/her the fine.
Better be as plastic is banned.Was it a paper straw?
Since when did a paper cup with a straw no less become a missile.The fans behaviour was impeccable tonight typical Sun gutter non story.PSV players were targeted by a missile as they celebrated opening the scoring against Rangers in their Champions League play-off clash at Ibrox.

Yep, I realise this happens at a lot of games but that doesn't make it right!Mate, you do realise this happens in a LOT of football matches every single week in every country?
I agree that ideally nothing should be thrown onto the pitch but watch literally any game from across the continent, when a goal goes in and celebrations happen in front of opposing fans, some fud will more often than not chuck a paper cup/something daft and harmless onto the pitch. Lets not start talking about this as if It's a "Rangers problem". It's hardly a bottle of Buckfast.
The issue here is the Scottish media trying to vilify our support over nothing, again.
Exactly, the cretin that threw it should be picking up the bill - otherwise we all pay.Send him/her the fine.
“As stunned Rangers fans watched on”

They don’t have to search too far when some mindless quarterwit gives them one on a plate.Fucking sad bastards desperate for a story.
They should be taken out into the centre circle at every home game for the rest of the season and have it done in public.The Sun reporting on it is relatively unimportant, if the UEFA observers mention it in their report we'll get a sizeable fine.

It was stupid but come on, it's barely even a story. If it happened, which it does all the time, at a music festival. It would not be mentioned anywhereThey don’t have to search too far when some mindless quarterwit gives them one on a plate.
Please don’t be.Struggling to feel bothered by this.
I agree, but we all know that it IS mentioned at Rangers games and we all know what the consequences are.It was stupid but come on, it's barely even a story. If it happened, which it does all the time, at a music festival. It would not be mentioned anywhere

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 wonder if they have anything in their rag about the scum Nats behaviour in Perth last night?That article is hilariously pathetic.
Fair pointIt may have been a female.
Yes, but it had a straw in itA paper cup? Oh, the calamity!!!
