“Could Rangers be hit with Points Deduction?’ Celtic told the Punishments and Sanctions that awaits Rangers after Controversial Tifo and SHOCKING VIOLENT ATTACKS at Hoops Goalie Sinisalo last weekend at Ibrox — SFA and Police Investigations

Rangers are facing potential disciplinary action following a controversial tifo display unveiled by fans during the recent Old Firm derby against Celtic at Ibrox.

The display, which appeared in the Broomloan Stand before kick-off, depicted former Rangers manager Graeme Souness holding a shotgun alongside the phrase “Take Aim Against the Rebel Scum” – a slogan widely interpreted as a targeted insult toward Celtic supporters. The image and wording sparked immediate backlash, with many calling it inappropriate and inflammatory.

Rangers moved quickly to distance themselves from the banner, issuing a public condemnation and working with authorities to remove it. Police Scotland confirmed the display was confiscated at halftime and that an investigation is now underway to determine how it entered the stadium.

In addition to the tifo, the derby was marred by reports of missiles being thrown at Celtic players, including bottles, vapes, and coins. Goalkeeper Joe Hart and other players were targeted during set pieces, adding to growing safety concerns at high-stakes fixtures between the two Glasgow clubs.

The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has also launched its own inquiry into the incident, focusing on Rangers’ matchday security procedures and the approval process for supporter displays.

If Rangers are found to have breached league rules or failed in their duty to maintain safety and decorum, the club could face fines, sanctions, or a reduction in away ticket allocations.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers did not mince words after the match, calling for strong action from football authorities.

“There has to be a consequence,” Rodgers said. “It’s not just a bit of rivalry – it becomes dangerous, and that crosses the line.”

This isn’t the first time Rangers have been scrutinised for fan conduct. The club has previously been fined by UEFA for discriminatory banners and chants, and they remain under pressure to ensure better oversight of supporter behaviour moving forward.

Both Police Scotland and the SPFL are expected to deliver updates on their investigations in the coming weeks.
