ALTHOUGH only 45 minutes were played at Tannadice, the football on display from both sides was impressive and exciting while it lasted. I wasn't alone in thinking the game shouldn't even have been started but the commitment from Rangers showed our players recognise the best way to deal with the off-pitch shambles is playing well and responding to the magnificent support.
One particular cameo made me smile. Boyd and Lafferty had been chipping at each other for most of the half, yet when big Kyle went down in the box and United players rushed over to accuse him (wrongly) of diving, Kris Boyd was first on the scene to defend his team-mate. That's the sort of thing that binds the Rangers family closer together, and together is ultimately the only way we will fight our way out of the swamp.

Scotland's Shame?

Are you referring to the only support who can't observe a minute's silence for our war dead?

As for 'rioting', half a dozen people pushing ahd shoving stewards who are hosing them with pepper spray?

Away and raffle yourself.

Good to see rankgers shaming themselves in europe yet again, sectarian songs and roiting in the stadium. Breaking seats and throwing them at the stewards and policia.

Scotlands shame indeed.

As for Laugherty's dive, he should of been booked, if it was a foul why npo free kick??

BrB, only in Scotland would stewards with batons and pepper spray assaulting fans, about eight of whom reacted be a) blamed on the fans and b) described as a 'riot'.

But don't let the facts get in the way of a dig at Rangers...

And 'Rankgers' were champions last time I looked, which doesn't say much for whichever team you follow, you mental midget.

Theres only so many times you can blame heavy handed policing, stewarding , broken TV screens,turnstiles etc etc beofre you have to admit Rangers have a serious problem with the behaviour of a section of their support. Martin Bains comments were frankly laughable.

This is now the second time Rangers have been charged by UEFA for the same offence and if other precedents are followed then a points deduction and/or a European ban will follow.

Given the clubs precarious financial position at the moment some Rangers fans seem intent on self destruction.

Stefano, you are clearly deluded, only 8 fans were causing trouble lol give me a break, it was on telly for all and sundry to see.

The fact is they WERE breaking seats and the WERE singing secterian songs FACT.

If you fans can't behave themselves just because there was only 2 turnstyles open then they obviously have a massive problem.

The excuses coming out of the mouths of rankgers officials and fans are quite frankly a joke.

The sooner your club is banned from europe the better and the sooner the SFA/SPL starts deducting point's for your so called 'football songs' your club might start to understand that it won'tbe tolorated any longer.

As i said in my original post rankers are Scotland shame.
