The Rangers hierarchy recently met with the Fan Advisory Board to discuss important issues involving the club.
Fraser Thornton, who has officially joined Gers as the CEO, was the highest-ranking senior member at the meeting.
Greig Mailer, the Chief Communications and Marketing Officer, Jim Liggett, the COO, and Greg Marshall, the Head of Supporter Engagement, were the other club officials present.
Rangers hierarchy propose meeting to discuss officiating standards
Rangers released documents on their official website to document what took place at the meeting.
The minutes stated that members of the club have proposed a meeting with the other Scottish Premiership teams to discuss the refereeing standards in the league.
They have suggested that there would be potential “structural” improvements to improve the officiating standards.
The Gers representatives confirmed that they are actively engaging with the authorities to bring about an immediate change.
This was met with positivity from the FAB as they agreed that something needs to be done to tackle this issue.
Why Rangers and their fans have grown sick of the poor officiating in Scotland
There has been a pattern in recent weeks in which major decisions have gone against Rangers and then respective panels have issued an apology about them.
For example, in the recent 1-0 win over St Mirren, Alex Gogic prevented Nicolas Raskin’s header from going into the back of the net with his hand.
A penalty should have been given by the on-field referee, Steven McLean, and VAR also did not send him to review his decision.
Then the KMI Panel looked at the incident and decided that both McLean and the VAR were in the wrong and issued an apology to Rangers.
Even against Livingston in February, a late red card should have been shown to the visitors for the foul on Mikey Moore.
However, nothing happened and it was the panel that reviewed the decision and apologised to the Ibrox outfit.
Due to these repeated issues, the problem appears to be systemic, and it requires one club to raise questions and push for change.
For years, Rangers have said nothing, and the fans will be happy to see some action being taken.
