Last updated 19th Aug 2024
Rangers have issued indefinite bans to four supporters after a woman was assaulted at Saturday's Premier Sports Cup game against St Johnstone.
The 51-year-old - an employee of the Perth club - was robbed of a drum before the match at Hampden Park.
A 22-year-old male has since been arrested and charged by Police Scotland.
He will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court alongside two other men, aged 16 and 21, who were also arrested for breach of the peace and resisting arrest.
A Rangers spokesperson told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard: "Rangers can confirm it has issued indefinite bans to four individuals as enquiries continue following the incident outside Hampden Park on Saturday.
"Rangers has reached out to the St Johnstone employee to check on their wellbeing and to apologise on behalf of the club.
"We abhor and condemn all incidents like this in the strongest terms and continue to support Police Scotland with their ongoing investigation."
A St Johnstone spokesperson said: "We are aware of an incident involving one of our club employees prior to today’s Premier Sports Cup match against Rangers at Hampden Park.
"We are working with Rangers Football Club, Police Scotland, the SPFL and the SFA, with an active investigation now underway."
Philippe Clement's side won the match 2-0 and progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition.
