Rangers have apologised to Celtic captain Scott Brown for a supporter giving the player abuse over his late sister, according to the Daily Record.
The outlet is claiming that the club’s managing director Stewart Robertson phoned Brown personally to apologise whilst the club also sent an email to the Celtic skipper.
The apology concerns a video where a Rangers “fan” abused Brown over the death of his sister upon the player leaving Ibrox on Sunday.
Rangers fans came together to roundly condemn the video, and the supporter has been reportedly banned from Ibrox for life.
But there was a great deal of confusion in the resulting “social media witch-hunt” for the guilty party with an innocent Rangers fan being blamed and abused for the incident.
The Greater Glasgow Police then had to come out on social media to clarify that the individual guilty of the abuse was actually a 15-year-old child.
Rangers have shown their class to come forward and apologise to Brown and it’s why the club itself stands alone in Scottish football.
Unacceptable fan behaviour has been a hot topic at Ibrox following a raft of UEFA sanctions for unrelated sectarian singing at Ibrox.
The club has made it clear that unacceptable behaviour of any sort is not welcome at Rangers.
The Rangers apology will draw a line under the incident and the club and press can now move on.
