Rangers have slammed suggestions their players were involved in sectarianism following Saturday's trophy lift at Ibrox.
A video was circulated on social media of players celebrating inside the stadium and singing along to Neil Diamond hit 'Sweet Caroline'.
There were then accusations made that the players sang offensive sectarian lyrics but Rangers say it is an attempt to 'discredit' the players and the reputation of the club.
And they insist 'no criminality took place' and will be continue to work with the police to clear their name as they took aim at politicians who shared the clip on Twitter.
They feel the politicians sharing it will influence people's thoughts on the situation after Police Scotland confirmed earlier today they were investigating the clip.
But Rangers say it is 'deeply concerning' that it has been taken as the real deal and pointed to their 'Everyone Anyone' campaign that fights sectarianism and other forms of bigotry.
In a statement, they said: "We are aware of a video circulating on social media. It is evident that this video was shared with an adjoining narrative which attempts to discredit our players and the reputation of Rangers Football Club. This highlights the dangers of ‘trial by social media.’
"It is deeply concerning that this video has been taken as genuine and has been shared widely including by some political representatives who should be mindful of their influence and legal processes.
"Our squad is richly diverse. Sectarianism is unacceptable and has no place in our club which is underlined by our Everyone Anyone campaign.
"We are confident that no criminality took place, we have sought legal advice and look forward to cooperating with Police Scotland."
