Rangers today celebrate the one-year anniversary of their ground-breaking diversity and inclusion initiative Everyone, Anyone.
The Ibrox club have taken tremendous strides to modernise the club in recent years and part of that has been launching this campaign to help rebuild the club’s image as a leader in diversity and inclusion in Scotland.
The landmark initiative received government backing at the time will remain at the forefront of the club’s marketing going forward.
This special campaign highlights the wealth of diversity amongst the Rangers support and brings the Rangers family together under one umbrella.
It has been a great success so far, with this anniversary coming at an important time as many of the club’s supporters rally around their black players and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson spoke about the initiative via the club’s website.
“I think the recognition it has had from external sources has been telling – from the political scene, the media or within football,” said Robertson [Rangers].
“It has been very, very well received
“Most importantly for me, the supporters have taken to it in a very positive manner and I think it is very reflective of where we are as a society today.
“I have been delighted with the response and delighted with the manner in which the team, the supporters and people out-with the Rangers Family have got behind it.
“Society is changing. We need to be diverse, we need to be inclusive. It’s important we are as inclusive as we possibly can. The campaign itself will continue to evolve.
“We are open to all and anyone is welcome to come to Ibrox and feel welcome when they do.
That’s so important if you are a player, a supporter, someone from the academy, a partner or a sponsor. Everyone who comes to Ibrox should be made to feel very welcome.
“Everyone Anyone has become part of the club’s values. That for me is one of its key successes. It’s not about one event. It’s the fact it now pervades through everything we do at the club.”
