“Following yesterday’s match, many Falkirk fans have contacted us about away fans obtaining tickets for the home end and the behaviour of these fans, which included a steward requiring medical attention.<\/p>\n

“We have also received complaints about sectarian singing from a large proportion of away fans.<\/p>\n

“Football is passionate, but none of this is acceptable. We condemn all of the aforementioned incidents.<\/p>\n

“We therefore apologise to our fans for the deeply unpleasant experience they were subjected to.<\/p>\n

“Falkirk FC will work with Police Scotland, stewarding partners, our colleagues at other clubs, the SPFL and SFA, and endeavour to improve the experience for our fans.<\/p>\n

“The club already had a robust plan in place for the final game of the season, with enhanced measures in place given the potential significance of the fixture.<\/p>\n

“We are now considering further the implications of yesterday’s incidents for future matches against Rangers, including security and ticketing arrangements, and will inform our fans once a decision has been taken.”<\/p>\n

In an additional post on X, Falkirk chief executive Jamie Swinney said: “We apologise profusely to our fans for what occurred within our ground yesterday.<\/p>\n

“I assure all of our fans that lessons will be learned & that we will consider a variety of measures to control what we can control for future games.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
