Rangers accuse Celtic fans of abusing their women's team

Rangers have accused Celtic fans of abusing their women's team during Sunday's SWPL match between the teams.

Celtic won the game 3-1 in East Kilbride but Rangers claim their players were targeted by fans in the home section.

In a statement, Rangers said: "Our women were subjected to misogynistic and sectarian abuse, which is totally unacceptable.

"Perhaps security measures need to be introduced for Rangers women when they have a match away from home against Celtic."

Celtic responded with a statement of their own, which read: "We are surprised by these claims which have been made today (Tuesday).

"We have no knowledge of any incidents at all and nothing whatsoever has been raised with the club either at the time or since Sunday's match."

The two teams will meet again in the league in October at the Rangers training ground.
