On Sunday, December 3, Rangers hosted St Mirren and won all three points even if the game played did little to thaw the fans’ bitter cold.
Before the game, the Bears issued a statement cautioning against the use of pyrotechnics, which is something that almost everyone in Scottish football is aware of and which may have contributed to the freeze.
They also raised the possibility of possible sporting sanctions being imposed, alerting supporters to the fact that it is unlawful to possess fireworks in football grounds.
Sanctions can take many different forms, and Ibrox News’s Finance Expert Dan Plumley explained to us what might happen to the team should they ever face charges.
“If these things keep happening, you would expect a similar story to start happening in Scotland because, in the end, the only way to stop them is to hit the club where it hurts, which either means fines or point deductions,” he stated.
“So far, we’ve only seen fines, but you can see how the consequences may progress. I get the impression that if it continues, sanctions for Scottish football will soon follow.
Apparently, John Bennett and the team are attempting to send a strong message to the fans, and this is the last thing they need right now.
As leniency may no longer be an option, Ibrox chiefs are now afraid of Hampden executives, according to a report published in The Daily Record on Monday, December 4.
It’s important to keep an eye on this because ultimately someone will need to be made an example of, but the Rangers are hoping that their warning will go unheeded and it won’t be them.
With some huge games this month, all eyes are on the team.
