Nico Raskin appeared to splash water on an Aberdeen fan during full-time of Rangers’ 2-0 win at Pittodrie on Sunday.
The incident happened when the players went down the tunnel after the match. The fans then threw an empty cup at the players as they headed towards the dressing room.
Earlier in the match, Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez appeared to be hit by an object from some of the Aberdeen supporters as the players celebrated Thelo Aasgaard’s opening goal.
Rangers boss Danny Röhl spoke about the incidents in his post-match press release: “I think we want to play football on the pitch. We want to have a friendly atmosphere, but you feel it today, this place here too, it’s tough.
“I think even when I arrived I felt immediately where we are, but we showed the right answer on the pitch and that’s what we want.”
Sky Sports has contacted the Rangers for comment regarding the incident involving Raskin.
Pundits condemn the Raskin incident
Talking further Sky Sports after the game, Kris Boyd said: “He’ll probably be in there regretting it now, but if you’re a footballer you get away with fans mocking you.
“You just have to go home, you’ve won the game, you’ve got three points, a difficult spot, get back on the road.”
Chris Sutton added: “Vaclav Cerny did, didn’t he, the second year [in match against Celtic in March 2025].
“Anyway, this is a powder keg of a fixture, that’s the last thing it needs. You can’t keep spraying water on fans, that’s a definite no-no.
“There’s going to have to be some kind of punishment or the players will just keep going.”
Paul Hartley said: “This is a big game between the two teams and the fans. You have to be the bigger person and walk away. He might get a penalty now.
“He’s an experienced player. Just go down the tunnel, you’ve won, you’ve had a good performance, you’ve got your three points.”
Cerny incident explained
Vaclav Cerny – who spent last season on loan at Rangers – was given a formal warning by the Scottish Football Assoication (SFA) after he sprayed Celtic fans with a water bottle as he drove along the touchline to celebrate team-mate Hamza Igamane’s 88th-minute winner.
Police Scotland launched an investigation into the incident. But the force concluded that “no criminality has been established”.
