RANGERS fans unfurled anti-Stewart Robertson banners ahead of tonight’s Europa League showdown with Red Star Belgrade. 

Supporters in the Sandy Jardine Stand showed off a picture of the Ibrox managing director in a no entry sign. 

A message with the banner read: “Safe Standing? No. Better Disabled Facilities? No. Friendly Against the Animals? Yes. Shame On You.” 

Chants of “You can stick your f***ing friendly up your a***” were also heard echoing around Ibrox. 

A number of fans of both Glasgow clubs have reacted angrily to this week’s news that they will compete against each other in the Sydney Super Cup in November. 

Some Rangers fans appear particularly agitated that the event has been billed in Australia as a homecoming for Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou. 

Fans’ group Club 1872, the sixth largest shareholder in Rangers, this week wrote to the club seeking an explanation for the decision and claimed “alienating a significant portion of your supporter base cannot be seen as a sound commercial decision”. 

When asked for his take on the decision, Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: “We know there is going to be a big gap during the World Cup and I know the club is looking for friendly games, not only in that window but also in the international windows we have. 

“I think it’s an opportunity for the club to go there and play for the fans who are based in Australia. And of course the club made the decision to go there because they do everything in the best interests of the club. 

“For me, I just need to respect that decision and play a good couple of friendlies in Australia in November.” 

A number of Rangers fans made their opposition heard during the club’s 1-0 win over St Johnstone on Wednesday and the Union Bears ultras group declared themselves “disgusted” with what they termed a “narrow-minded” decision.
