Danish Police have carried out a truncheon attack on Ibrox fans ahead of the Europa League tie against Brondby tonight.
After 20 months without an away day Sash Bash thousands of fans have travelled to Copenhagen, many buying up tickets for the home end with an official away allocation of 1,400 tickets.
Earlier this week Brondby announced that they had cancelled tickets bought by non-Danish supporters but that wasn’t going to put off fans that had taken time off work, booking flights and accommodation.
Danish Police planned on taking ticketless fans back to Copenhagen by train from Brondby but that plan has been ditched with the Daily Record reporting:
Danish riot police have ‘hit Rangers fans with truncheons’ ahead of their Europa League clash with Brondby.
Officers waded into large groups of supporters outside the stadium an hour and a half before kick-off. Supporters suffered face and head injuries in the incident which was described by one injured fan as ‘terrifying’.
The Light Blues supporter, who travelled to the Scandinavian city with a group of friends, said: “I have never been so scared in my life. The police have been leathering everyone with their truncheons. It’s disgraceful. Everything was good natured in the build-up to the match.
“I don’t know what happened. The police appeared to just start hitting supporters. My face is burst but there’s guys with other head injuries. It’s an absolute disgrace, they weren’t holding back.”
Rangers fans being Rangers fans…. https://t.co/7LZDK4RfGW

We encourage those Rangers fans who have been rejected at the stadium, because they don´t have a regulated ticket, to gather at Entrance H. Then we will help you, so you can come by train back to Copenhagen #BIFRFC #Brøndby #RangersFC #politidk

It seems that the Danish Police have taken a different stance to Police Scotland’s softly softly approach to the carnage in George Square in March and May.
Sevco fans are hooligans cant take them anywhere scumfans scum club.
Rangers fans innocent victims ??? aye right, trying to get into the game with dodgy tickets ur no in Scotland noo its real Polis ur dealin wae no Scottish scum, cmon Brondby HH
Nae funny handshakesare going to sway these Piggies ya dozy huns wazzocks! Ach they probably deserve every skelp they get…
AT LAST JUSTICE IS SERVED, it may well be 6 or 8 months late, depending on what battle of George Square you’re marking it against.
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE DANISH POLIS FROM THE soft AF SCOTTISH POLIS
At least one of those organisations KNOWS how to deal with hooligans and vandals, the other is NOT fit for purpose.
Bout time they got a hiding fking rotten skum!
With a reputation like sevco or wangers on the road they deserve it….pretty sure there’ll b a riot during or after, like night follows day..
Just like their players don’t know what it’s like to get sent off in Scotland, their fans don’t know what it’s like to have to behave yourself or accept the consequences.
About time they got what they deserved.
didn’t hit them hard enough or often enough??
Zombies from the cradle of filth, not a brain cell between them,they are the scum of Scotland !!!!
