Four supporters of Rangers have been suspended indefinitely by the team due to an incident that happened prior to their Premier Sports Cup match against St Johnstone.
Prior to the game at Hampden Park on Saturday afternoon, a 51-year-old woman, who serves as the supporter liaison officer for the Perth club, was assaulted and robbed of a possession.
Police Scotland reported that a 22-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
Additionally, two more arrests were made following a separate disturbance that erupted shortly after the initial event.
A Rangers spokesperson confirmed the details on Monday. They said: “Rangers can confirm it has issued indefinite bans to four individuals as enquiries continue following the incident outside Hampden Park on Saturday.
“Rangers has reached out to the St Johnstone employee to check on their wellbeing and to apologise on behalf of the club.
“We abhor and condemn all incidents like this in the strongest terms and continue to support Police Scotland with their ongoing investigation.”
The women who was targeted provided an update on X, stating: “Thank you for all of your support and kindness. #Humbled.”
