Rangers have condemned vile graffiti and stickers referencing the Ibrox disaster left in the away end after victory over Hibs.

Messages mocking the 1971 Ibrox disaster which led to 66 deaths were scrawled across seats in the away allocation at Ibrox.

The writing appears to have been daubed on seats with green chalk or marker and was discovered by Ibrox chiefs after the 4-0 victory.

Stickers were also placed on seats showing an image of Stairway 13 with the message: "Stairwell Thirteen - it's the greatest sight that I have ever seen".

Further graffiti in the away section which reads "Lizzie is dead" mocks the death of the Queen with other seats vandalised with "IRA".

Rangers officials have blasted the "outrageous" graffiti and stickers and vowed to work alongside Hibs to identify the supporters responsible.

A Rangers statement reads: “Rangers condemns in the strongest possible terms the graffiti and stickers left by a section of the Hibernian supporters at Ibrox this afternoon.


“The Ibrox Disaster remains the darkest day in our club’s history, and continues to affect a number families to this day. The mocking and celebration of such an event is outrageous, and has no place in any football stadium or society as a whole.

“Rangers will be pleased to work with Hibernian to identify those responsible.”

Hibs chiefs have confirmed they will work with Rangers to identify anyone responsible and vowed to take "the most serious action against anyone involved".

A spokesperson for Hibs said: “Hibernian FC is aware of the intolerable graffiti and stickers found in the away end at Ibrox today and condemns the behaviour of the individuals that were involved.

“The Club will work with Rangers to identify those responsible and will take the most serious action possible against anyone involved.

“If any Hibernian FC supporter has any information that could assist the Club to help identify these individuals, they should contact club@hibernianfc.co.uk and the information provided will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.”
