Scottish Side Rangers MD Robertson Vows To Deal With Misbehaving Fans

Scottish Premiership side Rangers Managing Dir Stewart Robertson "vowed to take action against any Ibrox supporter found guilty of disorder at the Scottish Cup final," according to Andy Newport of the SCOTSMAN. But Robertson "has reiterated the club’s belief that the finger of blame for the chaotic and violent scenes witnessed at Hampden on Saturday should still be pointed at the Hibernian fans who swarmed onto the pitch." The "jubilant scenes which followed the Leith side’s 3-2 win quickly turned sour when a section of the Easter Road support headed straight for the Rangers end to taunt and goad their rivals." Easter Road Chair Rod Petrie has promised to work with the authorities to ensure "those who have transgressed face the consequences of their actions." Police Scotland -- which has so far made more than a dozen arrests -- "has launched a criminal investigations into the shocking scenes, while the Scottish Football Association is also setting up a independent commission to examine the causes of the trouble" (SCOTSMAN, 5/26).
