AFTER having challenged the Daily Record over the veracity of their story ‘Cops: Mob Rule Outside Hampden Blocked Us From Getting In to Help’ (published on May 26, 2016) Rangers have received an apology from the newspaper’s editor.

The Daily Record was hauled over the coals by the newspaper industry watchdog, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO,) who were scathing in their criticisms of the methods used by the paper.

IPSO ruled the Daily Record failed to corroborate the information they claim they were given via an anonymous email and also found them to be guilty of presenting a ‘significantly misleading impression.’ The Daily Record also failed to ‘demonstrate the accuracy of the serious allegations set out in the article.’

IPSO also stated: ‘In circumstances where Rangers supporters were accused of violence towards police, and other anti-social behaviour, the attempts it had made to support the account of an unidentified source it had been unable to verify were not sufficient to demonstrate that care had been taken over the accuracy of the article.’

Rangers and Club 1872 challenged the paper and in a letter to Rangers Managing Director Stewart Robertson, the editor of the Daily Record admitted the report printed in the edition of May 26 surrounding events in the aftermath of the Scottish Cup final ‘should not have been published.’

The editor also wrote: ‘In this instance the paper failed to maintain the requisite standards. It was a collective failing for which I apologise unreservedly.’

Folk moaning about the club not taking The Record to task and folk now moaning that taking them to task and getting an apology is not enough. Probably want Stewart Robertson to go round to their offices and start kicking cunts in, and even then some would moan that he didn't give them a hard enough kicking. Some folk in here need a right good ride :D

This place has become a parody of a Rangers fans forum.

Said on here several times the only way to deal with this rag is for every Rangers supporter and their families to boycott this fucking rag in every way and drive them into the ground financially.Rangers minded business men taking their advertising pounds elsewhere.

Rhebel makes up shite to blame Rangers  shocker 

More importantly; Rangers board calls out "rhebel" for making up shite in official statement shocker...

This will all be forgotten on here by Monday so let's enjoy it.

Our club statement is needed so as to get it out there as you can be sure the DR would be hiding it in a personal letter or buried in tiny column were most readers would not find it.

Hard to blame the club unless trying to find fault. The DR and it's seemingly unprofessional journalist are to blame.

The board should have done what Liverpool did to the Sun. They have nothing to do with them, and fans do not buy the Sun, our board should have come out and told our fans not to buy the Rebel. But the problem is that our board want to be friends with everyone, and will keep kissing the arses of all the people who are trying  to harm our club.

Surely any Rangers supporter doesn't need to be told by the board to boycott this fucking rag.

I see nothing to enjoy 

It's a crumb .A mere crum of what the club should be doing .Chasing after all these liers and the medias reporters that are trying to discredit  our club and supporters  name

I would be more overjoyed if banning them indefinitely was mentioned.

No chance
