Rangers officials have vowed to help police weed out the fans responsible for the 'inappropriate singing' heard during Monday's clash with Hibernian.

The banned 'Billy Boys' song could be heard during the title clash at Ibrox and the Scottish Professional Football League has already stated it will wait to see what its match delegate has to say before deciding whether to take action against the Championship leaders.

But Rangers chiefs have vowed to assist Police Scotland in identifying what they described as a "minority" of supporters responsible for the singing during the 4-2 win.

In a statement, the club said: "Rangers believes it is appropriate at this time to remind everyone of the club's position on anti-social behaviour within football grounds.

"The club operates a zero-tolerance policy and continues to work tirelessly via the Follow with Pride campaign while supporting all initiatives aimed at tackling this problem.

"The football authorities and Police Scotland know the club is committed to eradicating all forms of unacceptable behaviour and it is disappointing that a minority engaged in inappropriate singing during the match against Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium on Monday, December 28.

"At every home and away pre-match operations meeting unacceptable conduct is included on the agenda with the attention of both the police and stewards drawn to the need to deal with this matter robustly.
