Scottish Government rejected a bid to allow 10,000 Rangers fans inside Ibrox to witness Saturday's trophy presentation, PA can reveal. Club made the offer last month in hope it would convince supporters to stay away from Ibrox as Steven Gerrard's team celebrated with trophy

A very reasonable request and proves the club took the lead in trying to stop any nonsense

A fair proposal and one that should’ve been seriously considered. However, we all know Wee Nippy would’ve tossed it straight in the bin.

That's a fair and sensible request from the club.

Also mentions minimising the issues from March. Rangers taking the lead. SNP taking the piss.

So the club tried to offer a solution and the government was having none of it
Using Dornans strict liability mantra, I hope the government are punished

A reasonable request and idea to try to be proactive. It was never going to be allowed by the SNP because they were desperate to show they weren’t accommodating Rangers or it’s fans in any way. We tried, they never listened. Rangers are not responsible for what happens on the streets of Glasgow. That’s for the government and the police but there also needs to be personal responsibility. Rangers never failed to do anything. The police, the government failed and some people let us down.

They will hide behind the covid numbers (which is a joke but that's for another thread) but I guarantee you that even if the numbers are the same or similar by the time the Euros kicks off, there will be 12 thousand fans at Hampden.

They didn't even come back with an alternative like 5000, 3,000, 2,000 etc.

12,000 in Hampden in a few weeks is ok though....
Rangers basically offered a solution and the government said no, now the government is complaining of the consequences.
Standard SNP. Fcuk it up, blame everyone else.

There should have been no excuse for the govt to turn this down. Scientists have repeatedly said, and March proved, that the chances of catching covid outdoors are miniscule.

100% the whole episode was a stich up. From the local council to the Scottish government.

Which is down to certain groups in a certain First Minister's constituency not adhering to the rules on indoor gatherings

Glad to see the club being proactive re crowds and with releasing this. Everyone and his dug knew that the fans would congregate. Nothing was stopping it as it was, this would have probably worked.
Anyway wtf does this word jumble even mean?

Over 20 thousand at the fa cup final last saturday - and what a difference it made. Brillant scenes when leicester scored the goal and at full time.
The scottish cup final was to have 600...and then it was cancelled.
Pathetic.
Can the snp please drop the scotland the brave shite?
Scotland the brave is now scotland hids behind the sofa shaking with fear.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the spiteful witch won’t allow fans back in next season
Well played by the Club here - get ahead of the narrative. Regardless of the request being rejected, we’ve proven that we attempted to mitigate the situation.

They got exactly what they wanted. There were several measures that could have been put in place to manage the crowds and minimise the risk of anything erupting but they were never ever going to agree to that. They wanted bad press for the fans which then allowed them to attempt to drag the club into it. It doesn’t fit with either of their key agendas. A government brimming with tim sympathisers who hate our club more than they love their own and anyone seen wearing or waving the union flag doesn’t fit with their nationalist agenda. It was all very predictable.
But Rangers didn't do enough

So rather than people in a controlled environment where they couldn’t drink they instead allowed 10,000+ to gather in George Sq drinking all day.
Makes total sense…

Maybe at Hampden in a few weeks would be the perfect opportunity to stage a protest against Sturgeon and her Nazi party,. A great opportunity to voice our views whilst the world is watching. Views on how we are treated differently from her beloved due to political gain.
Equality not under Sturgeon.
