Rangers condemn 'all forms of discrimination' as club work with police to identify fans involved in sectarian march

Rangers have condemned scenes following in the lead up to the game against Celtic after police launched a probe into the incident.

Scottish politicians have widely slammed a group of football fans after what was dubbed an 'racist anti-Irish march' at Ibrox yesterday.

Officers from Police Scotland have now launched an investigation into the march which was posted on social media before the derby clash on Sunday.

Now the club state they are working with officers to identify any Rangers season ticket holders involved in the incident.

They condemned the footage and vowed to stand against any form of discrimination.

The statement read: "Following an incident on Sunday, we repeat that Rangers FC condemns all forms of racism, sectarianism and discrimination.

"We are working with the police to identify any season tickets holders.

"As a club, we are proud of our Everyone Anyone campaign, led through the Rangers Charity Foundation, our work with a wide range of stakeholders and our on-going dialogue with the Scottish Government.

"Discrimination of all forms is a societal issue within Scotland.

"Those with influence within Scottish discourse should put their energy into eradicating this very serious issue across all sections of Scottish society who suffer sectarianism, discrimination and racism of any form."
