Rangers executives are concerned that, despite their pledge to work with the SPFL to put an end to the use of fireworks by supporters, Hampden chiefs may not be as forgiving when it comes to Rangers fans using them, as reported by the Daily Record.
Although the Hampden administration chose not to intervene this time, the newspaper reported in print [4 November, p. 36] that there are worries about repercussions should it occur again.
This comes after the team asked supporters not to bring pyrotechnics to football games in a statement released on November 3. The statement warned supporters that doing so could put them in danger of arrest and the club could face sanctions from the league.
From France to Germany to Poland, you can witness some incredible fan displays from the stands throughout the continent. These jaw-dropping shows of support for their teams frequently centre around pyrotechnics.
Unlike their European counterparts, Rangers were involved in a similar display during their match against Dundee at Dens Park earlier this season. However, it has put the club and its supporters in hot water, with league and police investigations being opened right away.
In the stadiums, supporters ought to be free to show their team spirit and colour without fear of repercussions. The fact that controlled pyrotechnics are still forbidden has frustrated supporter groups all around the UK.
Having said that, it is ultimately unlawful to use pyrotechnics in football stadiums. Follow the club’s instructions and refrain from using them in a stadium for the safety of others around them as well as to assist the club in avoiding SPFL sanctions.
