Disappointing – Rangers fans’ tifo DENIED for clash against Dundee United at Tannadice

Rangers supporters were left fuming after their request to display a tifo at Tannadice was rejected by Dundee United.

The Ibrox club had planned to unveil a large display in the away end for the match on Sunday, February 12.

However, Dundee United have refused permission, claiming that the tifo would be a "safety hazard".

The decision has angered Rangers fans, who believe that the club is trying to stifle their support.

One fan said: "This is a disgrace. We're being treated like criminals. All we want to do is show our support for our team."

Another fan added: "This is a clear attempt to silence us. Dundee United are scared of us making a noise."

Rangers have not yet commented on the decision, but it is likely that they will appeal to the Scottish Football Association.

The SFA has the power to overrule Dundee United's decision, but it is not yet clear if they will do so.

The decision comes at a time when there is growing concern about the atmosphere at Scottish football matches.

In recent months, there have been a number of incidents of violence and disorder at matches, and the SFA is keen to avoid a repeat of these problems.

It is possible that Dundee United's decision to ban the tifo is part of a wider crackdown on fan behaviour.

However, it is also possible that the decision was made on a case-by-case basis, and that the club genuinely believes that the tifo would be a safety hazard.

Whatever the reason, the decision has angered Rangers fans, and it is likely to add to the tensions between the two clubs.
