Union Bears release TIFO statement ahead of 2025/26 season

Rangers ultras group, the Union Bears, have released a statement regarding TIFOs ahead of the new 2025/26 season. 

The fanatical crop of supporters admitted that several of their displays last term weren't up to scratch, but that they are already looking to improve for the new campaign.

They have launched a fundraising page to aid their efforts, with a target of £10,000. 

A statement read: "As one season ends, work is already underway for the next.

"But first, we must admit that not every tifo this season has met the standard expected at Ibrox, home to the best tifos in the UK. While there were some memorable efforts, including one that sent the country into meltdown, overall consistency has fallen short.Issues with certain members of club staff haven't helped us but we also take responsibility. 

"We're committed to raising the bar with new ideas, methods and plans are already in place to achieve this. We also aim to have the pulley system moved to the Copland stand by the start of next season. After recent displays you may have seen cost breakdowns from us; endless days of work put in to each tifo can be expected, but the financial demands can go unnoticed. 

"These tifos are fully fan funded and we would like to thank you for your continued support whether that be buying sticker packs, tifo memberships or cash donations, without this they simply would not happen.

"To gain momentum for a crucial start to next season, we've launched a crowdfunder. This is in absence of our match day stall which is our main source of income. These donations will help push us to that next level we believe we can achieve at Ibrox and every penny donated is greatly appreciated."
