BBC Scotland have undertaken a survey of all 42 senior clubs to collate information about the cost of football for fans – and Rangers fans on Twitter have blasted the broadcaster after it turned out the survey included all 42 SPFL clubs “except Rangers.”
There has long been bad feeling between the fans and the broadcaster over their coverage of the Light Blues and their refusal to attend Ibrox or the Hummel Training Centre.

The survey actually makes for interesting reading regarding the costs of supporting a football club – however by excluding the biggest and most-supported club in the country immediately excludes a huge swathe of fans.
Incredibly, there is some data from Rangers with the BBC instead lifting information from the club website rather than making direct contact as they did in the case of every other SPFL club.
Given the BBC’s position as one of the league’s broadcast partners – not to mention funded by many of the fans the chose to exclude – it only makes the entire row even more farcical and the SPFL should step in and demand the BBC apologise to one of their members.
