Rangers fans in Romania violence - have your say

Rangers have found themselves at the centre of a row over football violence, following angry scenes in Romania as the club took on Unirea Urziceni at the Steaua Stadium in Bucharest.

Police and stewards clashed with Rangers supporters during the game and before kick-off, with batons and what seemed to be pepper spray being used on Scottish fans.

Rangers chief executive Martin Bain has said that poor organisation and over-zealous policing led to the incidents, but also condemned the behaviour of some of the fans.

What is your opinion about what happened? Have Rangers' fans damaged the reputation of Scottish fans in Europe or have they been unfairly victimised by the Romanian authorities?

Were you at the game and saw what went on? What went on in the stadium that the TV pictures did not show?

    It was pretty disgraceful. All this nonsense about "not enough turnstiles" doesn't wash when it was caught on camera at HALF TIME!

    Rangers fans have a history of causing trouble in Europe.

    Manchester, Villareal, Barcelona and on and on

    Surprise Surprise. Only at a Rangers match could fans riot because there werent enough turnstiles open about 2 hours previous. Manchester it was a TV that broke so they rioted, now its the fault of 2 turnstiles that had the night off. And no doubt it will be blamed on those big bad Chelsea fans again.

    Yet again instead of talking about the fotball and the massive uphill struggle Rangers now face in the Champions league and the effect that will have on Rangers future, we find ourselves talking about the mindless few who have shown Rangers fans can't behave abroad. There is no excuse for what we witnessed at half time and Rangers club must take the lead with zero tolerance. I hope these so called fans are able to reflect upon their actions as it may have serious consequences for the club. How are we also going to convine=ce the English league to take us on if our fans can't behave.

    As a fan myself I would rather go out of the Champions league knowing my club did its best with honour and dignity. For the team its self well tried, I was very impressed with Wilson and Lafferty I only hope the fans behaviour has not spoiled it too much for you.

    No surprise that its the GFITW that like to crawl out from underneath their sheds and have a pop at the Rangers fans. If you honestly think that fans rioted because only two turnstiles were operating then you're dumber than I thought.
