That at the above match damage was sustained to Hampden Stadium, being the stadium where the Scottish Cup Final was played, as a consequence of misbehaviour by supporters of your Club. That the misbehaviour by your supporters occurred at the conclusion of the above match, whereby a number of your supporters carried out an incursion onto the pitch, and thereafter remained upon the pitch until cleared by Police Scotland and Stewards. That in the course of this misbehaviour by your supporters damage was sustained to the stadium, as follows: (i) To the surface of the pitch, portions of which were removed; and/or (ii) To a set of goal posts which were broken and had netting removed; and/or (iii) To parts of the LED advertising system situated at the perimeter of the pitch, in the vicinity of both the East Stand, and/or the North Stand; and/or (iv) To advertising hoardings situated at the perimeter of the pitch, in the vicinity of the East Stand. Outcome: The panel dismissed the complaint. The Panel Chair's Notes of Reasons can be found here Case Two Alleged party in breach: Rangers FC Match: Hibernian FC v Rangers FC (Scottish Cup Final - Saturday 21st May 2016) Disciplinary rule allegedly breached: Disciplinary Rule 311 In that at the above match you failed to adhere to the Cup Competition Rules, specifically Rule 28 of the Rules of The Scottish Cup. That at the above match damage was sustained to Hampden Stadium, being the stadium where the Scottish Cup Final was played, as a consequence of misbehaviour by supporters of your Club. That the misbehaviour by your supporters occurred at the conclusion of the above match whereby, following on from a pitch incursion by supporters of Hibernian FC, a number of your supporters also carried out an incursion onto the pitch. That thereafter supporters of your Club who had engaged in the pitch incursion remained upon the pitch until cleared by Police Scotland and Stewards. That in the course of this misbehaviour by your supporters damage was sustained to the stadium, as follows: (i) To parts of the LED advertising system situated at the perimeter of the pitch, in the vicinity of the North Stand, and /or the West Stand; and/or (ii) To advertising hoardings situated at the perimeter of the pitch, in the vicinity of the West Stand. Outcome: In light of the Hibernian FC determination, the Complaint against Rangers FC is withdrawn. The SFA have pretty much just gave the go ahead on "Riot at our national stadium, we don't care." Words can't even describe how incompetent the SFA are, between them themselves and their officials. The whole system is a farce and is not suitable for purpose. UPDATE Hibs have released a statement regarding this decision, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jintybear 8,750 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 That's a complete joke. No wonder we are fair game. So if, according to the SFA, there's nothing to see here does that mean that the Rangers fans who have been banned by the club will have their bans lifted? Will criminal convictions be quashed?

No doubt we'll release a statement soon that will get ignored Is there anyway we as a club or we as supporters can press charges against Hibs seeing as how the SFA have shat themselves?

Bobby Hume 13,875 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sadly not disappointed at this outcome, as it was a foregone conclusion that they twats at the SFA would cover their arses, and lo and behold, there you have it ..... sweep sweep sweep ....

If there is a way our board can take it further then they should, i.e criminal proceedings against Hibs as their fans put our players and our fans in danger.
