IT’S certainly a different kind of image of football hooliganism from the one which became feared during the 1980s.
But an image shared on social media appears to shows young supporters of Rangers and Lyon posing for a picture after an arranged 12 on 12 fight in a field.
It’s claimed that members of the so-called ‘Rangers Riot Crew’ met up with their counterparts from the French side as they gathered for their side’s clash with Manchester United in Edinburgh.
The Old Trafford side ran out victors on the day courtesy of a goal from reported Celtic target Donny van de Beek.
Social media site Hooligans.cz shared the image, along with the words: “XX.07.2023, U25 fight, Rangers (RRC) vs Lyon, 12×12, 1,30 min.
“Fair fight, win Lyon. Info Lyon: Big respect Rangers. On photo Rangers (RRC) and Lyon together”.
And one Twitter user wrote in the comments. “Nothing better than the fair fight. Refreshing. Monday morning we put the mask on and we go to work 🙂 Till next time.”
It isn’t the first time that images of this apparent Ibrox grouping have made the headlines.
Back in March, a picture shared by several social media accounts, showed 12 people clad in blue tops and hoods posing for a picture in a woodland area.
Their fists were raised as they stand behind a banner carrying the words ‘Rangers Riot Crew. – amid claims that it was an ‘arranged fight’ between fans of Rangers and fans of Brentford.

The post says ‘originally meant to be 13×13 but call offs from Brentford so 2 rounds of 6×6 were done.’
