Rangers Condemn Fans’ Racist Banner, Urge for Progressive Change
Rangers Football Club has taken a firm stance against a section of its supporters following the display of a racist banner during a recent match. The incident, which has sparked widespread condemnation, was highlighted by Simon Jordan on talkSPORT, where he criticized the Union Bears, a group of Rangers fans, for their actions.
The banner, deemed 'embarrassing' by Rangers, led to an official statement from the club urging the fans involved to 'be part of a progressive club or leave.' This comes as part of a broader effort by Rangers to distance itself from any form of discrimination within its supporter base.
The controversy has stirred significant debate about the role of fan groups and the responsibility of clubs to manage and influence their behavior. Rangers' response has been praised by some as a necessary step towards fostering a more inclusive environment in football, while others question the effectiveness of such public rebukes.
