Rangers fan 'falls 20ft from stands' during friendly match

A Rangers supporter has avoided any serious injury after falling from a height over a barrier prior to his side's friendly match against RB Leipzig.

Graeme Park crashed to the concrete below after reportedly attempting to do a handstand, which those in attendance claim was around a 20ft drop.

One travelling fan, Jim Pirie, tweeted a picture of the male in question lying on the floor below a balcony and added that he had been taken away on a stretcher.

Leipzig, who went on to win the game 4-0 at the Red Bull Arena, themselves tweeted to confirm that the supporter was "only slightly injured" and pictures later emerged of Park supposedly watching the game from the stands.

The game was arranged to give the Gers a chance to test themselves against European opposition, as they are well positioned to qualify for the Europa League qualification rounds.
