“Rangers can today confirm an investigation into the events in and around the area of seville and Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan has been completed. All supporters within the vicinity have been banned indefinitely from all future Rangers games. Supporters with MyGers Gold are exempt from this decision.”

This is the end of the Gerrard era, these players deserve to go out on a high for what they’ve given us. Sunday marks the real beginning of the Gio era. After what he’s just delivered for us on the European stage I’m confident of continued success.

I said the same at the time, I think nowadays it’s one of those that if it’s given it doesn’t get overturned and if it isn’t given it also doesn’t. There’s nothing clear and obvious missed and there’s enough of an argument both ways to leave it fairly ambiguous.

I was at the fanzone at Plaza de Espana a few times over the course of the days preceding the game - I hit better penalties than Ramsey did and I was pished.

That’s taking the fucking piss. Seriously though, if the board don’t have something out by tomorrow I’ll be fucking furious.

He’s an SLO who doesn’t liaise with the supporters, whether that’s orders from above - I don’t know, but the job he does is shoddy at best.

It’s when you sit and read their absolute nonsense from last week about their “entire security team” being in Seville. Obviously on their fucking holidays because there was fuck all security when it came to the fans. Seville itself is a wonderfully accommodating city, the people are very pleasant, but that whole thing was a shitshow from start to finish and, as much as I believe UEFA are responsible for a lot of what happened, our board needs to take the blame for how we as fans were treated. Get them all: Robertson, Graham, Johnstone, Bennett and Park to fuck.

His da is a chancer though by all accounts and he’s shown himself to be an absolute tit. I never understood the criticism levelled at Greg before, but he, along with the entire board of directors need their balls booted.

It was coming onto his right foot, you don’t let the ball go across your goal under any circumstances. How does Goldson scoring an OG make it worse than the Frankfurt player scoring? Same end result.

I can only provide a bit of a viewpoint from la Cartuja and the fanzone outside but the whole thing was a bit of a joke. A cobbled together stage beneath an underpass, rocks, glass and dirt underfoot. Getting into the stadium was a bit of a joke, none of the stewards, security or police could tell us where we entered and we were walking back and forth for a while only to be told we needed to go back where we came from and eventually got in. Kiosks we’re either understaffed or amateurishly staffed and it took 20 minutes to get 3 bottles of water. After the match some local wank decided to leave a gas canister on while an oven was cooking next to it, he decided to bolt when he noticed it might explode and caused a mass rush of people trying to get to safety. The guys honestly lucky he didn’t get his head kicked in for it, loads of us absolutely fuming, there were hundreds of us in the vicinity. As I understand it the conditions in Roman Sanchez Pizjuan were far worse, and alongside UEFA and Sevilla our club need to be held accountable for their lack of support provided to their own fans both on the night and in the lead up to the night itself.

Just arrived back. Had a taxi booked to take us from our hotel at 7am, so naturally they cancelled on us at 6am. Managed to get an Uber to replace it for €290, flight to Dublin with a 5 hour layover. Just landed in Edinburgh. Glad to see the back of Spain, absolutely boiling - but I’m sure memories will last a lifetime.

This isn’t the thread for it, but I need to know: when did it become acceptable to let a ball go past you across the face of your own goal? When did that become a thing

I don’t want to single anyone out, but I think Borna needs a new challenge.

There will be differing opinions but I think we played in spells, we never hit a consistent level and that may be down to Frankfurts tactics. We really struggled to get the ball down, although I know we had more possession throughout. I agree when it went to extra time and we switched to a flat back three instead of an alternating back three we took much more of the ball and had more chances. There are so many fine margins which decided the game, but for me I thought we just looked flat for the majority.

Sands coming on allowed us to play a flat back three with Lundstram in midfield. It was the right decision and we saw more of the ball and had more chances.

Jesus, I reckon we lock new threads for a day or two to let everything settle down.

There will be a lot of melodrama on here and amongst the fan base over the next few days, I’m sure of it. We’ve punched well above our weight this season and I’m proud of my team. Yes, a few decisions were contentious, but we didn’t deserve to win that today, some of the players showed their hands today and I trust Gio to be ruthless in the summer and weed out the rot. We’ve just been to a European final in seville and we should be proud of that.

Feet are torn to fucking shreds from last night and all day yesterday. What a fucking day though. Can’t believe the day is finally here 😂

Just gone 6am here in Seville, won’t be able to get back to sleep I don’t think.

A reckon I’ll no get through passport control on my way back Thursday. Fuck it though, mon the Rangers. Just back from Plaza de Hercules, place was absolutely jumping, police and locals joining in. Left not long ago, what an atmosphere. We own Seville now, somecunt write a play.

😂😂 not far off tbf

I might be in this video.

They’re all away doing a huddle in the sea atm

Went to the fan zone early doors, got interviewed by Clyde SSB. Took a walk up to the stadium. Seville is absolutely roasting - beautiful city and the locals are great. Stadium is locked down tight

Flew into Malaga on Sunday with the NHS app no bother.
