minstral 5,375 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sport Football Football News Rangers FCSPFL will investigate Rangers for sectarian chanting during clash with Raith Rovers22:41, 20 February 2015 By Gary RalstonTHE SPFL match delegate made reference to the Rangers support in his report at Starks Park.20 SharesShareTweet+1EmailVIEW GALLERY RANGERS face an SPFL probe after sectarian singing marred their victory over Raith Rovers at Stark’s Park.The Ibrox club have been reported by match delegate Tom Purdie after a section of the travelling support indulged in “sustained” sectarian singing during their 2-1 victory.Pundit Stan Collymore took Rangers fans to task this week and he was the subject of their ire during the game as Kenny McDowall’s side avoided four defeats in a row for the first time in 30 years.However, it was the chorus of controversy, including renditions of the Billy Boys, from a section of the support labelled the “FTP brigade” by former chairman Sir David Murray that have been mentioned in the report and not the jibes directed at the ex-Liverpool striker.On the pitch, goals from Andy Murdoch and Kris Boyd handed Rovers their first defeat of 2015 as Rangers avenged their Scottish Cup loss to go above Hibs and into second in the table.Euan McLean: Stan Collymore bigot row - it was the right thing to say, but the wrong man to say itFirst team coach Gordon Durie said: “I think 2-1 flattered them, given how much control we had. We should have killed them off.“The boys have been battered all over the place – but they showed great spirit tonight.“A lot of people have been questioning their spirit but last week, and again tonight, they showed they’re going to go out there and give it a shot.WATCH THE LATEST RECORD SPORT SHOW:“Listen, everyone is due criticism sometimes. We just take it game by game. Last week we got a good performance against Hibs without the result. We got both tonight.“We made it hard for ourselves with losing the goal late on, but the main thing is we got the three points.“When you lose three games at Rangers, it’s never easy and nobody knows that better than the players and staff. Rangers hadn’t lost four on the bounce for a long, long time.“The players were told to expect a tough, tough game because we’d seen what Raith could do at Ibrox in the cup. But they went out there and got the job done. We showed what we’re about tonight.”Durie praised Murdoch, 20, for scoring his first goal for the club, a stunning strike from 25 yards, before Boyd added the second with his first league goal in four months.Durie said: “I had Andy in the under-20s and he scored a few like that. He’s in the team on merit.“His whole performance was fantastic, his work rate and his energy in particular. He’s a confident lad, he was captain of the 20s and he knows he’s here because he’s good enough.“Boydy scored a real Boydy goal, didn’t he? I hope he kicks on from there, because he’s important to the team.”Raith threw themselves a lifeline late on when Ryan Conroy sent a looping shot over Lee Robinson, who kept his place ahead of Steve Simonsen, but it was to no avail.Boss Grant Murray said: “The result is disappointing because of the unbeaten record we’ve built up. The challenge now is to build again.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
