RANGERS have held meetings with figures at the highest levels of the UK government over the dreadful treatment of fans at the Europa League final in Seville.

Representatives of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and officials at 10 Downing Street itself have met with the club in recent days and have committed to take the various issues under discussion to both UEFA and relevant British Consulates.

Fans in Spain were kettled by over-zealous police before expensive electronic items previously given the all-clear by UEFA were unnecessarily binned, water poured out and, in some cases, crucial medication removed.

Inside the stadium, kiosks were unable to cope with demand and quickly ran out of water, leaving thousands of fans without hydration in the baking 35-degree heat.

Pressure on UEFA has grown after terrifying scenes at the Champions League final saw Liverpool fans, including children, tear-gassed and over-crowded to the point of a crush.

It’s understood Rangers are now working with the Anfield club to hold the governing body to account over their handling of the showpiece finals.

Rangers are determined to ensure no other fans have to suffer in the same way and have no intention of letting the issue drop quietly.

The club has already announced it is teamed with Frankfurt and Football Supporters Europe to produce a report into the Seville shambles for both UEFA and local authorities in Spain.

A statement from Rangers read: “This morning, representatives from Rangers met with Her Majesty’s Government to discuss the issues faced by our support in Seville before, during and after the Europa League Final.

“We are grateful for this engagement and will continue to lobby on behalf of our supporters.”
