Fans are urged by Rangers hero McCoist to add value to the team’s new uniforms.

After Saturday’s 2-0 Scottish Cup victory over Falkirk, a lit missile was hurled from among the away fans, scorching a hole in the £450,000 artificial surface of the Bairns. Rangers has agreed to cover the repair costs, and the Championship club is hopeful it will be fixed in time for tonight’s Under-20s match against Celtic. Ally McCoist has urged Rangers fans to stop using flares at matches before they cause serious injury.

Flares have absolutely no place at football stadiums.

We put a lot of effort into eliminating the coin-throwing and alcohol-related problems.

“After the continental games, flares have found their way in.”

Ogilvie responded, “It’s up to the compliance officer and judicial panel,” when asked what could be done.

But in order to end this, we must cooperate. It involves more than merely applying penalties. The behavior needs to be stopped right away.

Yesterday, specialists from the Dutch company GreenFields came to the Falkirk Stadium to evaluate the damage caused by the flare and determine whether the resulting “scar” could be repaired with a patch or if a brand-new roll of synthetic grass would need to be installed.
