Rangers fans were left fuming after once again being short-changed by the government over attendance.
It has been confirmed Hibernian’s home friendly with London giants Arsenal will have 2000 spectators, a reduction admittedly on the requested 6000, but Rangers are rumoured to only be allowed 1700 for our equivalent fixture and fans are understandably bewildered and frustrated.
It is unclear yet exactly how many fans will be allowed to watch Rangers welcome our old friend Mikel Arteta and his side, but there’s an undeniable reality that Rangers are being treated differently during Covid times.
We all know the complete hypocrisy over Scotland fans, and how leniently they were treated by comparison with Rangers fans, and this is another example of a different team’s supporters being given preferential treatment compared with the Famous. Or, at least, how Rangers are treated more harshly than other sides.
It is what it is, and we just have to live with it.
