Rangers account for half of all arrests in SPL Season 2007/08
Sorry if its been done already, but made interesting reading ....
Transport Police report sectarian offences eradicated in all but one club
Earlier this month figures were released detailing arrests and anti-social behaviour incidents carried out by spectators travelling to and from football matches in England, Wales and Scotland.
Celtic Quick News contacted the British Transport Police for a breakdown for arrests in Scotland which was illuminating. For season 2007/8, arrests were down from 73 to 61, but the total number of incidents involving football fans, including those which did not result in an arrest, rose from 86 to 99.
Fans from seven SPL clubs were arrested: Rangers, Dundee United, Motherwell, Celtic, Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibernian, as well as fans from Cowdenbeath, Hamilton Academicals, Dundee, the Highland League's, Clachnacuddin, and supporters of Chelsea, Manchester United, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Two Chelsea fans were arrested for possession of drugs, Manchester United appear on the list as one of their fans was arrested for Breach of the Peace at Motherwell Railway Station. The Cowdenbeath fan was arrested for Indecent Assault, perhaps the most serious incident during the season.
Celtic, Motherwell, and Hearts each had four fans arrested during the season, Aberdeen and Hibs had three. Dundee United were the second highest offenders with six arrests, while an incredible 30 Rangers fans were arrested, almost half of the season's total for all clubs. These figures do not include those arrested at the Manchester riot in May, which British Transport Police refer to in their press release.
Including those which did not result in arrest, there were six incidents involving Celtic fans, six for Dundee United, seven for Motherwell, four for Hibernian and five each for Aberdeen and Hearts. Rangers fans were involved in a total of 48 incidents, again just less than half the total.
One striking aspect of the list is that very few fans are arrested at the station nearest their home ground, which suggests police take a hands-off approach when large numbers of fans are congregated together, most incidents occur when fans travel to away games.
One of the most pleasing aspects of the information is the complete eradication of sectarian offences from all but one Scottish club. 11 arrests were made for sectarian offences in total, 10 Rangers fans and one Northern Ireland fan; news that is bound to resonate at the SFA and Uefa, both of whom warned the Ibrox club two years ago that punitive penalties would follow unless such behaviour was eradicated.
The figures are a ringing endorsement of most Scottish football fans, although clearly Rangers have a significant problem they have failed to address; Manchester, it appears, was merely the tail-end of a trouble filled season.

Yep, been done yesterday mate but still a good and very interesting read and shows the powers that be in RFC are doing zero to eradicate the thugs element that follows their team around the country.

According to Martin Bain, there arent real Rangers fans. They just have season books and go to away matches, buy all the merchandise...etc, not real Rangers fans though

Not at all shocked at this ,the dark side still believe they have the advantage over any one else ,and this smug "we are the people" attitude that they hang onto is the sole reason for there downfall

Their club is rotten to the core.
I often say to huns that I know, 'give me one song u sing at the football that isnt either political or sectarian'.
They always struggle and half the shit they sing most of the fuckin idiots cant even explain.

And let's not forget that massive covert operation by non-rangers fans in Manchester, going to the expense of buying RFC tops, flags etc, travelling to Manchester just to attempt to destroy the place...despical isn't it!

I work in engineering and know of at least 2 engineers and their mates who were involved in, and I quote, 'fuckin the city up for a laugh!'
None of them were Millwall, Chelsea or any fuckin other clubs fans, they were Glasgow huns.

Yeah true but what makes it so shocking is the fact most of them are genuinely proud of being seen as the worst supporters in Scotland!
