Rangers news: Sky journo blasts government over decision-making

Cases are rising again in Scotland but the show must go on – despite a fierce refusal to allow any sort of similar controlled event as Rangers were presented with the Premiership trophy two and a half weeks ago when numbers were lower. One rule for one, another for another. https://t.co/QaxkqL6C9F

It’s because it’s Rangers
Let’s face it, the Scottish government didn’t want to look as though they were pandering towards Rangers and allowing the champions to get special treatement.
That’s why they didn’t let the Gers let fans into Ibrox.
Loads of people have criticised the Light Blues as a club for the actions of a minority of supporters last month – including politicians.
But what more could the club have done other than offer up a safe and controlled manner to allow people to celebrate?
It’s exactly what the government is trying to do now with this fanzone in Glasgow for the European Championships.
Honestly, what a joke. You couldn’t make this up if you tried.
If the government doesn’t want to come across as though they’re pandering towards one section of people or another, they need to stop being selective in their decision-making processes.
If cases are on the rise and they wouldn’t let Rangers offer a controlled environment, they shouldn’t be doing it for those who want to support Scotland in the Euros.
It’s as simple as that.
In other Rangers news, the Gers are in pursuit of this player who Mark Warburton called “tremendous”.
