Rangers Football Club and UEFA
The motion
That the Parliament notes UEFA’s decision that Rangers Football Club must travel to Dagestan in Russia for a fixture with Anzhi Makhachkala; accepts the advice of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which urges British citizens to stay clear of Dagestan due to the very real threats to safety in and around the city of Makhachkala; expresses concern and dismay at the disregard of European football’s governing body for the safety of Rangers players, officials and supporters; recognises the importance of Scotland’s top football clubs participating in European competitions, and urges the Scottish Executive to make the fullest representations on behalf of Rangers to allow for their continued participation in UEFA tournaments this season and in the future and to demand that the fixture be moved to a safe venue away from Dagestan.
