Thank you for organising this.Rangers Football Club celebrated their World Record 55th League Championship yesterday! For a football club to have come through so much and emerge to again become the Kings of Scottish Football is a remarkable achievement.
The Rangers Support have been with the club all the way and it was to be expected that there would be joyous celebrations to follow. During these celebrations, there appears to have been accidental damage to a small number of memorial benches in George Square. This, whilst clearly unintentional, is not something the Rangers Support would like to have seen done and as a result, we are fundraising to replace these benches as a true and sincere gesture of respect.
If there are any additional funds raised we will donate them to the Anthony Nolan Charity which helps save the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders.

I’m not taking sides or blaming anyone for this happening, I look after the benches at our golf club and these are maintained every year, the cheaper ones of say £500 have a life of 6/7 years while the really dear ones 20 but if jumped on they would break no matter what they cost, we replace runners on them when needed and sitting on them can break them if they’re out for years.
If a bench need replaced the plaque is put on a new one at no cost to the family involved but it’s a different bench and not once has a family got upset at a bench being broken and replaced.
I don’t for a second think anyone deliberately smashed these benches up and if you look at the pictures they have broken at the weakest points the joints, no they probably shouldn’t have been dancing on them as they’re not built to hold a 15stone man jumping up and down but the wrong is being sorted and the new benches or repaired benches will end up stronger and have a longer stay on the square.
This could really do with getting some traction in the media.

Yep, a dangerous step to take.
The club never broke them, the fans did celebrating. So down to the fans to cough up.

Ha, this is probably the first time we have ever agreed on anything but, well done to you for setting this up. I don't for a second believe the benches were broken deliberately but, as others have stated, this is the right thing to do.
Btw, AN is a fantastic charity. Have taken part in these events through my previous employer, a very humbling experience.

Once the benches have repaired replaced or whatever any left over cash could be given to the council to buy more bins after the song and dance about the rubbish!

The owner of a Rangers supporters pub has launched a fundraiser to repair memorial benches damaged by fans at George Square last night.
The vandalism took place during a chaotic night in the city which saw large groups gathering to celebrate following Rangers league title win.

Now fans have raised over £5,000 to repair the benches after Robert Marshall, who runs The Louden Tavern, organised an appeal which was launched earlier today.
Robert said: "The Rangers support have been with the club all the way and it was to be expected that there would be joyous celebrations to follow.
"During these celebrations, there appears to have been accidental damage to a small number of memorial benches in George Square.
"This, whilst clearly unintentional, is not something the Rangers support would like to have seen done and as a result, we are fundraising to replace these benches as a true and sincere gesture of respect."
Robert says any excess money will be donated to the Anthony Nolan Charity which helps save the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders.
A spokesperson for Rangers said while they appreciate this has been a historic year for the club, fans must "stay safe, socially distance and look after each other in this difficult time."
They added that they are aware there is "the possibility of more, significant milestones within this season" and insist they will continue to engage with key stakeholders to maintain a cohesive message in relation to government guidance.

It literally mentions “kind hearted gers fans”.

The underhand politics at play here, will not take away my joy of this league campaign.
It's not my fault Rangers won the league before the clocks got changed.
Its been said before and probably doesn't need repeated ad nauseaum but I'm sure this was high spirits rather than malicious intent.
