Rangers ban 16-year-old girl over flare at Falkirk clash

Rangers have handed an "indefinite" ban to a 16-year-old girl after a flare was thrown onto the pitch during the club's Scottish Cup match against Falkirk.

The flare, which damaged the pitch, was set off during the Gers' 2-0 win in the fourth-round replay at Westfield Stadium on November 30.

The club released a statement on their official website saying: "Rangers Football Club has today issued an indefinite ban to a 16-year-old female who has been charged for her unacceptable behaviour at the recent Scottish Cup tie at Falkirk.

"She will be banned from attending all home and away games following the flare incident at the match. The club will continue to assist Police Scotland with their enquiries as they attempt to identify others who may have been involved."

The teenager appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court following her arrest.
