I think it will be a fine of around £10,000 plus the cost of the damage to advertising LEDs and Hoardings.

Hibs might get fined something like £40,000 plus damage costs.

Any more than that would suggest that "strict liability" had been enforced, which we know the clubs voted against.

As the rules stand, the clubs can only really be sanctioned for damage to the stadium.

What is frustrating is that the SFA themselves are not being held to account for their failure to police the event properly.

Hope we fight this, we delivered a brilliant statement in the after mass of the final and since then the club has backed down.

It is fucking staggering.

Thats because its quite clear and has been for years that the fans, players and backroom staff of Rangers mean absolutely fuck all to the SFA. In this case its quite obvious that the material objects of Hamdump are far more important than our fans, players and staff.

Well if that is all the charges then we should be looking to hold Police Scotland/SFA accountable for not ensuring Duty of Care to the players and staff on the park, after all they can't use the "kids in the street" blocking us the emergency services routine now.

shocking hibs didnt punish for other things than just the advertising  boards and destroying the goals cant they not see they are pics and videos of our players being attacked

for us to be charge for the advertising board is alot of bull we should be only charged for the fans coming on to the pitch

hope we now  withdraw from the scottish cup , hope the club put out a big response to that
