The targeted harassment occurred on Instagram immediately following the club\u2019s recent 2-2 Scottish Premiership draw against Livingston.<\/div>\n<div>The Ibrox board moved swiftly to address the situation, praising both Gassama and Fernandez for their bravery in immediately capturing and publicly exposing screenshots of the derogatory messages. The hierarchy reiterated that every player who steps onto the pitch represents the entire institution and its fan base with unwavering pride.<\/div>\n<div>Rangers executives confirmed they have escalated the matter directly to Police Scotland, who have initiated active inquiries to identify the anonymous users behind the accounts. Additionally, formal tracking information and evidence have been filed with Meta to demand permanent platform bans. The club is prioritizing player safeguarding by providing full legal, operational, and psychological support to both individuals.<\/div>\n<div>The Scottish Professional Football League heavily reinforced the Ibrox club&#8217;s position, labeling the online posters cowardly and urging anyone with identifying information to assist authorities. Rangers management concluded the address by thanking the thousands of supporters who flooded both players&#8217; feeds with messages of solidarity, asserting that the club stands entirely united against discrimination.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rangers FC Condemns Social Media Vitriol After Livingston Draw Rangers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":7703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[121],"class_list":["post-7696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-rangers-fc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
