Steve1872 4 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Rangers Supporters @rangersfctrust · 2h2 hours ago The RST has tonight released the following statement:Read: http://tl.gd/n_1sj12bm The RST has tonight released the following statement: The Rangers Supporters Trust is disgusted to learn that a group of Celtic fans daubed offensive, sectarian graffiti, mocking the Ibrox disaster, on the walls of Tynecastle stadium during a recent visit there. We are even more disgusted by the attitude of Celtic Football Club towards this incident, which is to try to distance themselves from the behaviour of their fans rather than taking responsibility for it. We welcome Ann Budge's recent statement and fully support her attempts to highlight the disgraceful behaviour of a sizeable minority of the Celtic support. The group responsible for this are affiliated with The Green Brigade, who have been encouraged and tolerated by Celtic Football Club officials. This despite outward shows of support for the IRA and various offensive banners including one protesting against Remembrance Sunday. In the past few years we have seen riots in Dundee, wide-scale vandalism and disorder at Fir Park and Tynecastle and various acts of public disorder in Glasgow centred around Celtic fans. Throughout all this, Celtic's PR machine, has sought to quell reporting of these incidents and no substantive action has been taken against the perpetrators by the Celtic Chief Executive, Peter Lawwell. Celtic Football Club has a major, ongoing issue with their fans which their constant denial of facts will not solve. Their official fan groups, including the Celtic Trust, seek to legitimise this behaviour by, for instance, campaigning for the right to display public support for terrorism without penalty. We hope that belatedly, with their fans' disgraceful mocking of the Ibrox disaster, Celtic will start to take their hooliganism problem seriously and the SPFL and SFA will do likewise, despite the strong influence wielded by Celtic in their boardrooms 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchorman 0 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If only we had a strong board to back up supporters' feelings.Very good statement. They are scum. I don't see how an open statement like this will help anything. It's the type of publicity that kind of low life shite thrive on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I am not a fan of the RST, but give credit where due. Any light than can be shone on the dark side is welcome. Good, positive statement. Pity it didn't come from our board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,671 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 An excellent statement from the RST. If only it had been from Rangers itself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Normally I'd agree on not giving vermin attention however mocking the deaths of the 66 is beyond the pale and needs public shaming. But we both know deep down it wont get the public outcry. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 They have no problem issuing strong statements if it involves the tims or our board but it's a different story when it comes to our failing manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if the Rangers board would be able to take this up but since they can't be bothered, I'm glad the RST have highlighted this up.well done!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more important than our manager's position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
