Video: Rangers Protest Turns To Violence After Game Abandoned
Scenes of violence have allegedly marred the aftermath of Rangers’ home game against Hearts tonight, with the game being abandoned during the first half due to poor weather conditions.
Update: Video Added
The game was called off at 0-0 by referee Bobby Madden, after snow had made playing conditions unsuitable for the game to continue. However, this only seemed to exacerbate the violent tempers of Rangers fans, who were protesting against their own board, before turning that anger on the visiting Hearts fans, in acts of unprovoked violence and hooliganism.
