Falkirk will 'learn lessons' after alleged Rangers fan incidents

Sky F1

Falkirk condemn fan disorder and sectarian chanting in last weekend's 6-3 Scottish Premiership defeat by Rangers.

Falkirk will review ticketing arrangements for their final game of the season against Rangers after allegations away fans obtained tickets for the home end when the two teams met at the weekend. Rangers ran out 6-3 winners on Sunday, but Falkirk say supporters complained about incidents involving fans of the Ibrox club in the home end, including injury to a steward. Falkirk also say they received multiple complaints from fans about alleged sectarian singing in the away end.

Rangers return to the Falkirk Stadium for the final game of the Premiership season. The Bairns say they already had a "robust plan" in place for that fixture, but will now consider "the implications of [the weekend's] incidents". The result took Rangers to within one point of Hearts at the top of the Premiership and the next meeting of the sides could be decisive in the destination of the title.

Hearts travel to third-placed Celtic - who are two points behind Rangers - on the final day. BBC Scotland have contacted Rangers for comment.
