Rangers fans react in fury at appalling board decision

Rangers fans are furious tonight after the board 99% confirmed there will be no beam back from Seville to Ibrox, despite the fact the other British club, Liverpool, will have one at Anfield (as will both other European finalists Frankfurt and Real) and there was one in 2008 for Manchester.

The reaction online is a feeling of abject betrayal, and the club has ignored requests from supporters groups, ourselves included, for both comment and a reversal of this farcical call.

Some posited that it was a police or government decision, but Rangers took responsibility themselves with a pretty wishy washy excuse and surely would have been quick to blame the police or government had it been down to them.

No, fans are livid, many of whom spend thousands of pounds on this club and who have loyally followed through thick and thin, particularly the Journey, that the club isn’t bothering it seems to cater for those unable to travel to the continent, and there are many thousands that can’t.

Ibrox Noise has been inundated with messages from people asking what they can do in Glasgow, and where they should go, and of course, the obvious answer was Ibrox and the beam back.

Now these folks are unable to guarantee anything, with many pubs taking to necessary ticketing to avoid being swamped on the night.

This is a poor call. Rangers’ reasons of being understaffed have to be the most bizarre public line we’ve seen in a long time, and we’d expect a good chance this will be reversed.

But for now, as it stands, it’s a no, folks.

Very, very poor.
