So spfl uphold celtics case and no Rangers fans shocking to say the least.
01 May 2026 18:14:39
Davie, - 2, 500 tickets for Rangers - just No Union Bears - that is the jist - if Rangers accept this.
01 May 2026 18:16:49
That's not the case. They've upheld No Union Bears, so that's roughly 2200 tickets. Said, as home team, they're responsible for health and safety at the game. Ridiculous, Davie.
01 May 2026 18:17:12
Davie, there are Rangers supporters allowed in their stadium, but no Union Bears, so 2 options for Rangers here. ? If they accept the SPFL ruling, they will get their full allocation of just over 2k Rangers supporters into Breezeblock Boulevard, or if they don't accept the ruling of no tickets sold to the Union Bears, then we won't have any of our supporters at the game.
?
01 May 2026 19:01:15
Whether I agree with this or don't,
Quite simple, Rangers supporters should be at the match, accept the tickets and replicate next season at Ibrox. Therefore no UB or GB at OF matches for foreseeable future.
01 May 2026 19:07:56
How would you differentiate between Gers fans and UBs from a ticketing point of view?
01 May 2026 19:08:15
Problem is the Union Bears will just break in like the Green Brigade did at Ibrox and make it overcrowded and unsafe.
01 May 2026 19:33:14
Simply ask all fans to attend the match warring black hoodies Bizz. ??
Seriously, just accept the tickets and get on with it.
Who's going to be the drummer. ?
01 May 2026 19:39:45
It's ridiculous this is even being spoken about, because a minority in each support act like f****** idiots. The every day decent supporters, who don't go to football games, to fight, vandalise, basically just act like a complete neds, will miss out.
It annoys the life out of me. They ought to grow up. There's a chance we could go there needing a win to lift the title with no fans. It's unacceptable.
01 May 2026 19:53:56
The fact they idiots sold to the Green Brigade for our ground then say no Union Bears is a joke. If they fear for safety that much, both sets should not be attending. They seem to think running on our pitch is acceptable, btw, none of it was, but don't kid yourselves in their head they or their fans do no wrong.
Cannot wait to win the league and their fans are attacking them again Watp.
01 May 2026 20:05:47
I don't have an issue with Celtic not allowing the Union Bears in the ground as I wouldn't let GB or the UB in any ground if I was in charge.
We need fans at that game so Rangers should do the correct thing and take tickets for fans that do behave at football matches.
Going forward, next season I believe there will be no away fans at either ground. Not just the ultras. I think that's what Rangers will do for 1st game next season. The match will just become another match with no away fans.
I thought the SPFL would side with them on this.
01 May 2026 20:20:07
According to Celtic, we're better without fans, after all, they say we won the league without them. ?
01 May 2026 20:23:22
Guys, your ultras have marched into a Celtic area prior to 2 Hampden games looking to chase/batter Celtic fans. A few weeks ago, they ran 3/4s of the pitch to get at about 20-30 Celtic fans who foolishly spilled onto the park.
Smell the coffee. My club's leadership is bad, but in this instance they've made a good call and common sense prevailed with the SPFL decision today. Rangers fans have been offered tickets. Seriously, what's the problem?
01 May 2026 20:24:23
After today's ruling surely we are within our rights to ban Celtic fans as a whole. No one can know for certain which section of the away fans were responsible for breaking into the stadium, the damaged caused or ran on to the pitch.
I'm not surprised with the days ruling and I don't know what route the Rangers board should take but I think it's bad that this club with no shame feel they have the right to take the moral high ground on the incidents that happened at Ibrox.
Everyone of us recognised that something needed done about the clowns that entered the pitch that day and unfortunately the decent supporters could end up losing out on getting tickets for the game.
In part I feel there's a bit of desperation from the Celtic board here especially after the trouble they have been having with their clowns for a number of years now which is exaggerated with the fact they have let them back into the stadium for the run in.
Definitely a club with no shame.
01 May 2026 20:26:38
The Union Bears are full of neds. I hope we are not going to pretend otherwise.
01 May 2026 20:47:59
Come in peace, my problem is your lot sold tickets to the Goon brigade for Ibrox yet they were banned from your stadium. ?
01 May 2026 20:52:30
Cip, wtf, what did your neds do to and at Ibrox, wrecked the place, Celtic board, welcome back GB ? the ones that had a part in it, then your mob say no UB on safety concerns, very Alanis Morrisette, absolutely shocking twisted mince by your mob to win appraisal with all the sycophantic support on your site.
01 May 2026 21:34:48
Bet some Union Bears will get into Parkhead for the match.
Think it'll be back to only home fans in the OF league games next season.
01 May 2026 21:39:13
I am with Storm and BB4. I dislike ultras of any persuasion.
We live in dangerous times in which intolerance is being normalised. I often think football is incidental to those factions - they can hire their own arena so they can wave their tifos and chant their ideologies at each other without bothering the rest of us.
I love football and I choose to express that through support of Glasgow Rangers. I've been doing that since Harold Wilson served his first term and I don't need any advice from other agencies on how best to do that.
01 May 2026 22:04:43
Seems like a sensible decision and one that's been a long time coming.
02 May 2026 00:39:05
This decision basically accepts the Celtic board assertion that any trouble previously was down to Union Bears and that Union Bears are the only ones likely to cause trouble in this fixture coming up. There are several issues here. Why did the SPL wait till Celtic made this stipulation? Why is an issue in a separate competition, run by a separate organisation, using different criteria for away allocation being taken into consideration? We at Rangers, fans, players, staff, officials, appease too easily and take responsibility too quickly. And it is to our own detriment. Both on the pitch and off the pitch. Does anyone really think that we would have received 10, 000 tickets if the cup game was at their midden? I bet they would be talking about discrimination, etc.
if we said you can only sell tickets to certain parts of your support - and that moan would be upheld at SPL or SFA level. They have two objectives. 1. Win at all costs. 2. Ensure that Rangers are hammered. Look at their response to winning on penalties despite winning many trophies over the last 15 years. It's all about winning and gaining every advantage they can. That blinkered, shameless attitude has served them well. It's time we took a stance. Yes, we have to take the tickets, and yes, agree to their demands if they do the same with the section of their support who caused the problems at Ibrox. Of course, our board should have made that clear as part of the argument prior to this announcement.
02 May 2026 02:02:28
Come in peace ure club banned the GB but sold them tickets for Ibrox, as for fans going to either ground, there is a lot more than both ultras who fight with each other, if the game was policed right nothing would happen. Fact.
02 May 2026 03:14:28
CIP, are you forgetting about the time when your clowns got Hamden on the Saturday night to prepare for the game on the Sunday with no trouble but when our clowns were preparing for the game on the Sunday morning there was trouble. All because your clowns turned up. Why were your clowns there at that time? Let me explain to you that they were looking for trouble.
Wake up, there are no angels in any of the groups, and one is as bad as the other. We could argue that at the game at Ibrox it was only the ub that didn't represent our club well, but it can be questioned that the Celtic fans as a whole didn't come out of that game well as it was not just gb members that behaved in a disgusting manner that day.
02 May 2026 07:54:06
Why can't supporters just go to the games, back Rangers to the hilt, sing proper songs until their heart is content, and behave and refrain from causing bother. ?
02 May 2026 08:55:03
I see he never mentioned the Vile slogans regarding our 66, says it all.
02 May 2026 09:11:20
Sws, We'd all love that, mate, a*******s the lot of them.
02 May 2026 09:28:23
Well over 90% sing the Billy Boys when things get going, Walter. Another thing that the UB should actually get credit for is their song book, added countless songs through the years that have nothing sectarian in them.
As for trouble, more people get lifted in other parts of ground on match day than the UB area. Don't get me wrong, if the difference was getting a ticket for myself for next week and UB getting in, am choosing myself.
02 May 2026 09:36:18
BA22 - Agree with you on this regarding Celtic's motives behind this. Deflection tactics, making most of the situ.
To exert their influence and control, and apportion all the blame to Rangers.
I don't defend the UBs, but by any decent
fans' standards the GB are equally culpable, and they should also be banned.
To allow them into porkheid and at the same time banning UB is an insult to our intelligence.
The dark arts of manipulating the narrative and outcome are at play here.
02 May 2026 10:24:39
Correct Fork
But, seen someone else ask, don't think anyone replied.
How do you differentiate between the UB and normal fans?
They can just pose as not being UB or getting friends to get them tickets??
02 May 2026 10:35:19
100% nail on the head coops mate great post but it will never work with ultras.
Come in peace even though I said what I said above. Your club let's get this right your club knowingly sold GB tickets for the cup match when they were banned at your midden. It's your club that caused the trouble at Ibrox yes ub were 100% wrong to retaliate and shouldn't have been on the pitch. Your club has caused all this chaos. You couldn't mark yer neck with a blow torch.
As I said above it will end up with no fans in opposing grounds as of next year all because of your club.
I reckon there will be trouble anyone as those idiots from our side work turn up.
02 May 2026 11:57:52
100% obfuscation from the entire lot of them from the "fans" up to the board, the blatant silence in relation to their part is deafening.
02 May 2026 13:31:27
Agree with you Storm, brass necks on Celtic and their fans, especially ones that come on here trying to play innocent. Always the victim playing the politics of grievance.
We take the decision on the chin, take the tickets and ban all Celtic fans from Ibrox from next season onwards.
Majority of Gers fans don't mind no UB at the game one bit.
We clearly cannot have a productive relationship with their nasty club as they are unable to take responsibility and will always play the victim card and appeal to the lowest denominator within their fan base because that's who they are.
02 May 2026 14:04:46
100% Tommy, they still haven't, to my knowledge, condemned their fans for Ibrox. All they have done is condemn Rangers fans. They are filth of the highest order.
