When Rangers got the last 8 or even 4 they should have started making more plans. They only relented in setting up screens at all on Sunday, if they had planned properly they could have testing things instead of trying to wing it.
But the fact is they didn't have to put big screens up for fans, why should they have done? They already need to have a large number of police at the actual stadium for the match so they could have easily said a few days before the game there would be no big screens for fans and tell them not to bother going if you dont have a ticket. It would have been much easier for them to organise and handle, but they let the Rangers fans come and facilitated them only for them to riot, what a nice thank you that was. Now they wont be showing the Champions league final next week on big screens with a team from their own city playing in it because of what happened, so thanks Rangers fans for spoling it for everyone else.
