Rangers have been fined €16,000 by UEFA after a fan invaded the pitch in their Europa League match against Villarreal.
A fan confronted an assistant referee during the game at Ibrox in late November following the dismissal of Daniel Candeias, with the club also being charged with the throwing of objects during the same match.
Meanwhile, Rangers and manager Steven Gerrard have also been given a warning over the late kick-off in their away tie against Spartak Moscow on November 8th. Kick-off was delayed by two minutes after Rangers players were late to enter the tunnel from their dressing room, with strict UEFA protocols in place due to television schedules.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
