RANGERS face an SPFL probe after poor segregation at Ibrox led to a flare-up with Hibs fans.

Trouble erupted in the wake of the Easter Road side’s first-half opener in their 2-0 triumph on Friday night.

It is understood match delegate Alan Dick WILL highlight the incident in his report to the league after a post-match security debrief with both clubs. Hibs are believed to be unhappy that only six rows of seats separated their fans from Rangers supporters in the Govan stand, with minimal stewarding between them.

The Hibee support was pelted with various objects after the opener and extra stewards were eventually drafted in.

The league are expected to get their report from the experienced delegate on Tuesday morning.

The SPFL will receive testimony from the match commander, both club’s safety officers, any relevant CCTV footage as well as Dick’s own thoughts on the incident.

If failings are identified, the host club could face sanctions ranging from warnings and fines to sections of the ground being closed.

It’s the second time in a month Rangers have been at the centre of a similar complaint.

Their abandoned clash with Hearts saw Tynecastle chief Ann Budge raise similar questions over the segregation of the supports in the corner allocated between the Govan and Broomloan stands.

Meanwhile, Ibrox assistant coach Gordon Durie admits he has no idea when all five of the Ibrox Toon Army will be fit to play.

Rangers landed five players on loan from Mike Ashley’s Newcastle on transfer deadline day.

But so far only Haris Vuckic and Remie Streete have made their debut with the others injured – and English defender Streete

suffered a groin strain in the cup defeat to Raith. The others, Kevin Mbabu, Shane Ferguson and Gael Bigirimana, remain sidelined.

Durie said: “There are now four players with the medical team and we have not seen three of them on the training side of things yet.

“I have no idea of a timescale and when they will all be fit and available to play. But the new lads have come into the dressing room and been welcomed.

“The off-field stuff has nothing to do with them as they have just come up looking to play games.

“Vuckic has looked bright and scored a good goal against Raith. We got good reports on him and hopefully he can kick on.”
