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.

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.
