Ultras' display showed new Police Scotland powers won't snuff out pyro
Those Rangers supporters who set off numerous orange and blue – the colours of their team’s new away strip - smoke canisters before kick-off in the Ibrox club’s opening cinch Premiership match against Kilmarnock atPark last Saturday evening had clearly been unperturbed about being nicked as they made their way down to Ayrshire.
The balaclavas which the perpetrators wear to cover their faces mean they can’t be identified or arrested afterwards even if they are caught on CCTV. One of those involved in the pre-match spectacle at Rugby Park stood bare-chested with his smoke grenade attached to the end of a pole. That may or may not be the case. But the potential for harm, for fatalities even, is very, very real. Asthmatics and epileptics are particularly vulnerable.Those on the field of play – as we saw at Tannadice back in December when a flare thrown onto the pitch missed Aberdeen player Ryan Duncan by a matter of inches – are at risk as well.
Would they deter those who revel in the lawlessness of their conduct? It is difficult to imagine them standing back and admiring the display from afar without getting involved. It is an integral part of the ultra culture.
