THE BEHAVIOR OF THE SUPPORTER

Supporters are strongly reminded that the use of pyrotechnics in sports stadiums is illegal. Not only could this lead to your arrest, but the club may also be sanctioned by the governing bodies.

Rangers is rightly proud of our multicultural men’s first team squad and diverse support. Our Everyone Anyone campaign sends a clear message of inclusion and togetherness and a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination on and off the pitch.

Rangers are a modern football club with support recognized across Europe for the positive way they support their team. Songs and chants of a discriminatory nature have absolutely no place in 2024.

The manager and his team have expressed how great your fantastic support can be on performance – let’s make sure that’s right.
