THE RANGERS have been punished by the Scottish FA for the reported incidents at their away games at Easter Road and Celtic Park in December.
The Scottish FA’s website today publishes a Disciplinary Tribunal Update that reveals that the Rangers are guilty as charged and the Ibrox club has been hit with rather modest fines totalling £15k, with only £10k being payable now and the balance suspended.
Here’s what the SFA have found….
