Appreciate some on here are desperate to push this as a non event but arrests will be made for assaults on players so not the 11 then? One is too many though and if anyone is guilty I want the book thrown at them. The narrative being played out though is absolute hyperbole. Is it any wonder people are questioning the events. I still cant believe there is no definitive footage available from tv. Also, if you listen to Andy Walker during the pitch invasion, he states Rangers players being taunted, at no point does he state any have been physically attacked.

Rangers have openly stated that several players and officials were assaulted. This is corroborated by a number of independent witnesses. Who those players are will eventually come out.

Seemingly there is pretty definitive footage about. If you look at Peter Smiths Twitter page he appears to have stills from it up. However as I said above, its probably time to let the police and the PF's do their jobs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 maybe Jackson meant to say 11 players out of both teams. Henderson being assaulted in the official area. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/734072182700118016/pu/vid/1280x720/zOpOEUbElcZVbuXM.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 To be fair, i'm convinced one player got hit at least with the existing evidence. Whatever number that ends up being is sort of irrelevant, can't have folk running on and hitting players. It has to be stamped out ASAP.

AFTER Kenny Miller's wife had stated Kenny wasn't assaulted and asked folk to stop spreading lies. I've seen this posted several times about Jackson now. It was Gary Ralston who ran the story about the 11 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Shiels wasn't assaulted when someone swung and missed him? The utter hypocrisy on here is hilarious. It's so blatant it's funny now.

No number on back of the top. Rangers supporter claiming hypocrisy on this has got to be the very definition of irony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 rangers players broke the golden rule as the losing team with a pitch invasion - get the fk out of dodge at full speed - dawdling about on a pitch with that in full swing was naive - however aas I have mentioned before the players should not have been assaulted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
