Eoin Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 IBROX dressing-room source reveals that all 11 Gers stars who finished the game were either kicked, punched or spat on as they tried to leave the field. EVERY member of the Rangers team was assaulted or spat on during the Scottish Cup final pitch *invasion. The Record understands all 11 players who finished the match were kicked, punched or spat on by Hibs fans as they tried to leave the field at Hampden Park. Our dressing room source insisted that none escaped up the tunnel without being attacked – and midfielder Andy Halliday went missing and had to be protected from yobs by the match officials. Rangers are fuming about their treatment by Hibs and their supporters – who won the cup for the first time in 114 years with a 3-2 win at Hampden Park. The Ibrox club are furious after failing to receive an apology from Hibs chairman Rod Petrie, who called fans “over-exuberant†after the match ended, or chief executive Leeann Dempster. The source said: “Not one of our players got off the park without being attacked in some way. “Every one of the lads was badly shaken because it was a terrifying situation for them to be in. “There were thousands of Hibs fans running towards them. Some of the behaviour was disgusting. “When we finally got inside the dressing room and conducted a head count we realised that one player, Andy Halliday, was missing. “It was a frightening ordeal for everyone and the fact that no one has apologised has made a terrible situation even more unpalatable. “There is also some serious anger about the conduct of Rod Petrie, who described the behaviour of the fans as ‘exuberant’. “I saw people being kicked, punched and spat in the face. Where is the exuberance in that?†Rangers released a statement in which they said they found it “incomprehensible†that no one from Hibs or the SFA had condemned the Hibs yobs. They added that it was “not at all helpful to see leading members of the Scottish Government, including the First Minister, whose parish is Govan,†commenting on social media without condemning the behaviour of Hibernian’s fans. The club went on: “It is to be hoped that all of Scottish football will share Rangers’ disgust and any attempts to attach blame to our supporters for the disgraceful and violent behaviour will not be accepted or tolerated by this club.†The Record also learned that Halliday was being protected from a mob in the centre circle by referee Steven McLean and his assistants. Fourth official Bobby Madden has also been credited with chasing a Hibs fan who was attempting to attack keeper Wes Foderingham. An SFA source said: “Steven was out in the middle of it all protecting players and acting like a steward. He deserves enormous credit. “A single police officer came striding into the centre circle and told the officials to stay put until more police arrived. “Steven ignored this advice and get his team and Halliday to safety. He was acting heroically out there. The officials really were a credit.†It’s understood that the Rangers board and some senior SFA officials are particularly furious with Petrie’ for appearing to make light of the violence and casting doubt on Rangers’ claims. Yesterday, Petrie – the SFA’s vice-president – declined to make any further comment. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson called for action to address violence at football. He said: “The Scottish FA, Hampden stadium management and Police Scotland are carrying out full reviews of the *circumstances, to ensure all lessons are learned. “The Scottish *Government are liaising closely with these organisations.†Both sets of fans were on the pitch after the final whistle. Fans in Rangers and Hibs colours were filmed fighting each other. Sectarian chants were also sung from inside the stadium, despite laws supposedly cracking down on offensive behaviour. *Superintendant Alan Murray , the match commander, is likely to come under pressure to explain the apparent failure of officers to react quickly enough to stop Hibs fans invading the field. There are also question marks over the security cordon at full-time which contained only stewards and which failed to hold back the fans who invaded the pitch. Rangers and Hibs fans yesterday reacted angrily to the pitch invasion and violent scenes on social media. One Gers fan on the Follow Follow site wrote: “You wait 114 years to win a cup and the minute after doing so instead of being filled with joy all you want to do is goad, punch and spit on Rangers’ players and fans.†Hibs fans also condemned the violence. One posted on the Hibees Bounce site: “If Hibs fans have assaulted opposition players, it’s unacceptable. It in no way represents the majority of our support.

Owsley Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The footage on BBC Scotland news shows the guy lifting up the kid with faces misted out, presumably because it's now under investigation. Police will surely be made aware of this incident and view the BBC footage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 What a laugh that Daily record article is All 11 players? Half of them got off the park before anyone was close to them. They are all trying their very best to make sure its not all about the **** losing the scottish cup final. We've broken them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominique Malonga Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It was brilliant going past all the Rangers fans outside their pubs after the game. Went past lots of them and we left Glasgow with our bus windows intact. Get back to Edinburgh and our window gets tanned😂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Brilliant scenes down Leith Links today, one street away from my house, never thought I'd see anything like it. Great atmosphere, families all out in force. I really hope the Hibs players and management team enjoy this and actually realise what they've achieved for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
