Furious Sevco have issued a statement slamming the SFA over the Scottish Cup Final whitewash.
Neither Hibs nor the club from Ibrox will face any punishment despite the shameful scenes at the end of the match when supporters from both clubs battled on the pitch.
It took the intervention of mounted police to restore order with Sevco claiming that a number of their players were assaulted although no evidence has been produced.
Anti-catholic songs were heard throughout the match and have again avoided punishment from the SFA.
Tonight’s the club from Ibrox stated: “FOLLOWING yesterday’s Judicial Panel decision Rangers will be demanding urgent clarification from the Scottish FA over how they intend ensuring the safety of players and officials participating in this season’s Scottish Cup.
“The Club has been left shocked by the SFA’s approach to this vital safety issue and by the decision not to seek sanctions in respect of the assaults by Hibernian supporters on Rangers players and officials at the end of the Cup Final last May.
“The Scottish FA must have a basic duty of care to ensure the safety of players and officials in matches played in their competitions and at Hampden.
“Rangers were surprised and disappointed by the nature of the charges brought by the association believing them fundamentally flawed from the outset and cannot understand why the focus seemed to be on compensating the association for damage to Hampden Stadium and items such as advertising hoardings and LED panels rather than ensuring the safety of players and officials.
“Rangers are concerned that adopting this approach will not dissuade supporters of other Clubs from coming onto the field of play and/or assaulting players and officials.”
The statement concluded: “The continued failure to deal properly and promptly with issues surrounding the Cup Final is alarming and a stain on Scottish football. The SFA must confront and learn from the issues that arose.
“Rangers owe it to our players and supporters to ensure that the Scottish FA’s duty of care is upheld and that those with authority in Scottish Football create a safe environment for the game.
“It should be understood Rangers will not tolerate any of their employees being attacked with impunity.”
