Club 1872 Statement – Scottish Cup Final 2016
In the first instance, we call on the Scottish FA to request the immediate resignation of Hibernian Chairman and SFA Vice President, Rod Petrie from the SFA board. His comments immediately following the game, and since, have been an absolute disgrace. How can Mr Petrie justify describing the violent acts of his supporters as “exuberance”? How can he justify the lack of any apology to Rangers for the attacks on our players? We welcome the announcement by the SFA of an independent enquiry but Mr Petrie’s comments are entirely at odds with their approach.
Had it not been for the match officials and Rangers own security staff, the assaults on our players could have been considerably worse and they have our heartfelt thanks for their actions.

Rangers sign Jordan Rossiter on four-year-old
Rangers have signed 19-year-old midfielder Jordan Rossiter from Liverpool on a four-year-deal. The defensive midfielder was out of contract and Rangers have managed to snap him up on a free but will need to pay compensation as part of the development fee.
The rumoured fee is around £250,000 which is a cut price from a fee of £8 million which English clubs could have had to pay.
