Rangers fans ramp up board protests as mass Ross Wilson and Stewart Robertson banners spotted at Motherwell

RANGERS fans continued their onslaught towards the club’s board at Motherwell today – with a stunning united display from the stands at Fir Park.

A number of Gers supporters have been taking aim at club chiefs in recent weeks.

In particular, they’ve been targeting managing director Stewart Robertson and sporting director Ross Wilson – using tactics similar to those Hoops fans unleashed against the likes of Peter Lawwell and Neil Lennon as Celtic’s hopes of ten-in-a-row came to nothing.

A series of online posts have been sabotaged with images of the pair – with banners also unveiled periodically.

And now images ahead of this lunchtime’s clash with Motherwell shows the image being circulated again in the away end prior to the clash.

One whole section of away fans held up pictures of Wilson and Robertson with a red circle and a cross over their face, alongside a huge banner which read: “Time for change”.

A spat between Ibrox ultras and the club hierarchy led to the Union Bears deciding not to attend last week’s cup clash against Raith Rovers.

The group’s section was spotted unusually empty during the clash with Raith Rovers amid claims anti-board banners had been removed by Ibrox stewards.

But an official statement from the club claimed the banner was instead removed for being offensive and that it was referring to Police Scotland rather than club chiefs.

The statement read: “Rangers refused to allow an offensive banner relating to the police service to be displayed at today’s match.

“The Union Bears elected to absent themselves from the stadium because the Club would not permit the offensive anti-police banner display.”

Michael Beale’s men booked their spot at Hampden in the end by seeing off the Championship outfit in the quarter-finals.

The manager has previously admitted that he has taken some of the fans banners personally.

At Livingston earlier in the campaign, a banner was displayed during the opening exchanges which simply read: “Two trophies in 11 years, uphold the standards that matter” in the Union Bearts’ usual style and typeface.

It was a pointed retort to the manager’s explanation around Scott Tiffoney’s equaliser for Partick after Tillman had sent Gers ahead in a controversial incident in a previous Scottish Cup clash.
