The Union Bears have announced that a planned Remembrance Day tifo has been denied access for the Scottish Premiership match against Dundee.

The Rangers fan group have stated they have been informed the display will not be allowed into the stadium due to Dundee rules prohibiting any tifo from away supporters.

The group blasted "restrictive and outdated rules" as they revealed the tifo refusal in a statement on social media on Friday.

The Union Bears urged Dundee to "apply common sense" and reconsider the decision to allow a tifo tribute to "remember our fallen heroes".

A statement read: "This Sunday, the Union Bears have prepared a tifo to commemorate Remembrance Day and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, as we proudly do every year.

"Unfortunately, we have been informed that Dundee FC will not permit the display of this tifo, citing a strict policy that prevents away supporters from displaying any form of tifo, regardless of its purpose.

"Once again, we are faced with restrictive and outdated rules from clubs intent on limiting supporter expression and fan culture.

"Countless hours of work and significant expense have gone into creating a meaningful tribute to remember our fallen heroes.

"While we recognise that Dundee will pay their respects in their own way, we are simply asking for the opportunity to do the same.

"We urge Dundee FC to apply common sense by reconsidering this decision.

"Union Bears. No Surrender."
