Rangers takeover: Sandy Jardine warns of reprisals
Ibrox legend Jardine refused to rule out a fans’ boycott of certain clubs’ grounds if a committee formed by Rangers through the club’s Fighting Fund determines they have been treated unfairly by them.
A meeting will be hosted tomorrow to discuss the options and Jardine said: “It’s the first time I have ever seen supporters so angry, but it’s also the first time we’ve had such unity. We will have a committee with a mandate to co-ordinate protests. Everybody has had enough of being kicked while we are down. It’s time we fought back, but we want to do it in a proper manner.

Jardine joined former Ibrox manager Walter Smith in urging fans to sign up for the “1872 Sponsored Walk” that takes place at Ibrox next month and will help boost the Fighting Fund further.
Fans who wish to register for the walk – which will be one mile and 872 yards long – can log on to www.rangers.co.uk and download an application form. There are 1,872 places available for the event that kicks off at noon on Sunday, 20 May, and fans must register by Wednesday, 16 May with a suggested minimum donation of £100 to take part.
