Thought the pyro display was class, appreciate its not ideal for people with pre-existing health issues but maybe if there was an adult conversation about allowing fans to do things like this then it would be managed better for everyone rather than football fans are scum narrative.

No more comments about that please, it’s being dealt with.

Comments about the football only please.

Don't see why he shouldn't play on Sunday. After a performance like that, and given the CHs weren't anything special v Hearts last weekend, I'd say he deserves to play on Sunday.

Based on performance totally agree. Just mean from my memory in his first tenure he didnt often play 2 games in a row. Perhaps im wrong and was just rotation with helander

I think he’s just become another option to play beside Goldson. I think we’ll still see a fair bit of Souttar and Davies.

Certainly makes you think King should go on loan.

SPFL slam disruptive Rangers pyro as Dundee delay 'concerning and unwelcome'

Ref Kevin Clancy was forced to suspend the game due to safety concerns after fire alarms were triggered inside the stadium

The SPFL have hit out at the use of pyrotechnics by Rangers fans and branded last night's scenes "very concerning and unwelcome".

Gers and Dundee players were ordered off the pitch just two minutes into the delayed kick-off at Dens Park after away supporters let off flares that triggered the stadium fire alarms. That forced Police Scotland and security personnel to carry out safety checks before the match eventually resumed after an 18-minute stoppage. 

Speaking after the 5-0 win, Light Blues boss Philippe Clement urged fans to keep the pyros at home and warned the disruption could've cost his side. And now, league chiefs have released a statement confirming they are working with Police Scotland on the incident.

An SPFL spokesperson said: “The extensive use of pyrotechnics at the match at Dens Park is very concerning and unwelcome. The disruption to the game is obviously extremely regrettable.

"We await the delegate report and will be liaising with Police Scotland on the incident.”

 

 

Dundee's statement even more peculiar in that it also mentions sectarian singing

They should be embracing pyro in Scottish football, not demeaning it. There isn’t much right with Scottish football but the passion of fans should not be quashed. 

Bollocks you don't need to let off flares to be a passionate supporter.

Why is my apology and correction not good enough. No wonder we have a problem with Misogyny in society! From No 10 to RM, some men have a misplaced sense of superiority over women and revel in hypocrisy and double standards! 

BNB please step away from your keyboard. I am not being funny but you aren’t doing yourself any favours here. I am female and I took umbrage to what you said and the fact that until @Sparkle said it was out of order you stood by your comments. As a long time poster I am sure that you didn’t actually mean what you said but equally you don’t know anyone on here’s circumstances and your post could have really caused real emotional anxiety and upset. I know you have always said you struggle with demons yourself and I don’t think you are helping yourself with posts like this. 

I thought the display was excellent last night but I did worry that the game was going to be abandoned because of it. At the end of the day it wasn’t and we went on to have a great game with another 3 points in the bag. We should be celebrating that instead of arguing about something that every football teams fans in the world do.

I am happy for you to message me and I will even give you my mobile number if you want to talk 😊

It was a great game last night you can clearly see that Clement wants the players to be brave going forward and attack from all areas of the pitch even Balogun and Goldson both did that something we have not see since the Bougherra days.

Five goals five different scores is always good for the team.

Just a throwback to an old friend o mine, sadly no longer with us, who hailed from beautiful Bangor, who referred to Eire as The Republic of Eerie. Nothing more to it than that.

Ach well ... at least no one was harmed mate ...  so no use crying over spelled milk eh? ....

 Mmm! .... Could possibly be correct mate.

It must have been due to all the time the ball stayed stuck like shit to a blanket ... in the back of their net ....

Got to the bottom of it. As precise with their facts as ever, Sportscene actually put the stats of another match out for us. Apparently we had one player, Devlin, yellow carded 😂 Look at our attempts on target and XG-

Balogun was outstanding imo. Solid defending and made some impressive forward runs.

Think he deserves a start on Sunday.
