Rangers Fans Display Trophies: Holding Celtic Fans' Items.

Rangers Fans Show 'Stolen' Items from Celtic Fans

According to The Sun: Fans of the Rangers club presented a large “catch” of fan merchandise that they claim were stolen from Celtic supporters.

Six banners featuring scarves, flags, hats, shirts, and jackets appeared in the home fans' section with the slogan:

'stolen in battle, not at night'

Among the displayed items were scarves, hats, and shirts featuring the Green Brigade emblem, sending their message to the rivals.

Another banner with the text ‘keep Glasgow clean’ was also shown during the display.

At the match, 2500 Celtic fans were present, and their rivals took the opportunity to showcase this impression while returning to Ibrox Stadium.

Criticism of the Coach and Support from Fans

Rangers fans not only directed their ire at their rivals but also expressed discontent towards coach Russell Martin and the club’s management. They hung banners at the stadium gates with statements that Martin’s time has run out.

Among the banners were messages such as:

'Martin and company must go'

and

'We deserve better, enough of this'

, along with crossed-out images of Martin and CEO Patrick Stewart.

The pressure on the coach is growing due to the results: no wins in the first three league matches and a disastrous defeat in Belgium.

Fans could be heard chanting

'Martin, Martin, out'

during the 6-0 loss and a total score of 9-1 against Club Brugge.

Since his appointment, Martin has won only three out of ten matches.

During the Old Firm match, fans also expressed outrage over the situation with Nico Raskin. Rangers fans chanted his name during the first half of the game, after he was dropped from the squad due to the coach's concerns over his behavior.

It is known that the coach's decision was supported by senior team players and staff.

In the current situation at the Rangers club, pressure is increasing on the coach, prompting fans to discuss possible changes in management. Meanwhile, the conflict between fans of both teams remains tense, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions of rivalry in Scottish football.

Thus, not only the team's results but also their relationships with fans and competitors shape the atmosphere before important matches that could significantly impact the club's next steps.
