A bit over the line given the sectarian history of the two clubs...or just a bit of banter? |  |

Too many people hide behind the claim of 'banter' when using inflammatory language - this risks inciting violence, and has no place in the game. |  | | |

You’d assume the club were contacted to get the ok for this too |  |

The statement from Rangers suggests they were unaware of it prior to it going ahead. I actually thought their response quite sensible, that they would work with supporter groups to ensure something similar wasn't repeated. (I paraphrase)
--------------------
Rangers Football Club condemns the actions of the individual who threw a bottle during today’s match. This behaviour has no place at our stadium. Steps have already been taken to identify the person responsible, and the club will take the strongest possible action once their identity is confirmed.
We also acknowledge that the tifo displayed prior to kick-off crossed a line and was unacceptable. Our approach to supporter displays has always been built on trust, with the responsibility placed on groups to exercise good judgement.
We will reflect on how these displays are managed and engage with supporter groups to ensure the right balance of trust, responsibility and oversight is maintained moving forward.
Rangers is proud of its passionate fanbase, and we all share a duty to protect the standards and reputation of our club. [Post edited 5 May 10:31]

Like the situation with the Kneecap rappers, there is a generation too young to remember the realities of the Troubles, but who get caught up in a romanticised view of the causes and consequences of violence and death on the streets.
Particularly at a time of greater economic hardship (which was a major driver in the original Troubles, also) when they don't feel they've reaped sufficient benefit from the Peace. |  |
