Union Bears look away now as Rangers protest own goal sparks Hotline hammering – 'the Keystone Cops of Scotland'

It was Bear on Bear at Ibrox on Sunday as Rangers’ civil war swept into the stands. Sections of the Ibrox fanbase reacted with fury when ultras staged a walk-out during the win over St Johnstone.

That is not something any of the last three managers are responsible for and won’t change in the next 20 years - so get used to it!”
