Match Report | Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
23rd November 2024
Dundee United FC will be contacting SFA Chief Executive Gordon Smith in connection with a number of incidents which were reported to have taken place on the field of play during the game at Ibrox on Saturday.
Derek Robertson, Director, said, "We will be looking for a detailed explanation of the decisions in several controversial incidents during the game. We will also be seeking answers from the authorities on how so many such incidents - all in favour of one side - and the inevitable and understandable contention this causes, can be avoided in the future.
It is widely thought that there is a bias shown against 'provincial' clubs when visiting Glasgow, with Saturday's game being highlighted as a prime example of this and reinforcing this view. This is damaging to the game as a whole and Dundee United believes that this situation should not be allowed to continue without careful examination and constructive proposals and dialogue between the clubs and the authorities.
For the record, the Club will be backing the Manager on all the important issues raised by him following the match in question and hope that his honestly held views can be used as a catalyst for constructive change."
