Rangers praise fans for backing the club's diversity and inclusion campaign

Rangers have thanked fans on the one-year anniversary of the club's 'Everyone Anyone' campaign.

The diversity and inclusion campaign was launched by manager Steven Gerrard and captain James Tavernier on July 22 2019, along with Connal Cochrane from the Rangers Charity Foundation, politicians and supporters.

A year on, the club's Managing Director Stewart Robertson has thanked fans for backing it.

Speaking on the club's official website, Robertson said: “I think it has been fantastic.

“I think the recognition it has had from external sources has been telling - from the political scene, the media or within football. It has been very, very well received.

“Most importantly for me, the supporters have taken to it in a very positive manner and I think it is very reflective of where we are as a society today.

“I have been delighted with the response and delighted with the manner in which the team, the supporters and people out-with the Rangers Family have got behind it.

"Society is changing. We need to be diverse, we need to be inclusive. It's important we are as inclusive as we possibly can. The campaign itself will continue to evolve.

“We are open to all and anyone is welcome to come to Ibrox and feel welcome when they do. That’s so important if you are a player, a supporter, someone from the academy, a partner or a sponsor. Everyone who comes to Ibrox should be made to feel very welcome.

“Everyone Anyone has become part of the club’s values. That for me is one of its key successes. It’s not about one event. It’s the fact it now pervades through everything we do at the club.”

Gerrard's men kick off their Premiership campaign against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday August 1.
