It’s still possible that they thought there was a genuine risk that Sutton/Lennon would be assaulted, and they weighed up the options of not letting them in or providing extra security and decided on the former. And the reason for that will be that, without even checking, there’s undoubtedly a load of Rangers fans absolutely loving getting it right up ‘wan ae them’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked this question a few times now and the responses have ranged from "It's possible" to "Rangers can't guarantee their safety" rather than anyone actually confirming that they believe that was the genuine reason for them not being allowed in. My opinion is it had nothing to do with genuine safety concerns, it was used as a blanket statement to stop them allowing entry to people they don't want inside Ibrox. I don't think anybody seems to have actually said they think Rangers were being genuine in expressing safety concerns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's not a good look for the club. As much as I agree Sutton can't be objective at times when it comes to Rangers, it's a dangerous route to go down with a dodgy precedent to set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Rangers should post their banning list outside Ibrox, on a weekly basis it could be reported on which fans or pundits have been added or removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they used the fact that it’s plausible that some of your fans would attack Sutton and/or Lennon as an excuse to try to dictate (again) to media organisations who is and isn’t allowed to report on matters from Ibrox. And I think they should be absolutely fucking hammered for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 19 hours ago, Mr. Alli said: Stopping Lennon and Sutton getting in is brilliant. More clubs should ban rival ex players, IMO. That bigoted weasel Neil McCann was never seen in McDiarmid Park while Tommy Wright remained in charge. I do wonder if we refused his media pass or perhaps he was to intimidated to turn up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
