Rangers\u2019 Scottish Premiership match at Dundee was halted after their fans\u2019 stunning pyro delay set off fire alarms. <\/p>\n
Kick-off had already been delayed by 45 minutes after the Rangers team bus was caught up in traffic congestion crossing the Tay Bridge. Play was then suspended shortly after kick-off for a further 18 minutes after flares lit by the visiting supporters set off alarms in the Bob Shankly Stand, with referee Kevin Clancy taking the players off the pitch.<\/p>\n
Clancy held talks with police and officials from both clubs before the match could continue. Rangers went on to win 5-0 thanks to goals from Ryan Jack, Danilo, Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers and James Tavernier.<\/p>\n

Recently-appointed Rangers boss Philippe Clement thanked the supporters for their fervent support and hopes the club aren\u2019t punished for the display. The Belgian said: \u201cI hope that the club does not face sanctions. You come here in the warm-up and the stand is full, everyone is chanting and supporting the players, giving a lot of energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose are very important things. We feel also the dynamic between fans and players is changing and it\u2019s because of both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good the team started bright again, but I think everyone will understand that it\u2019s really good to have all this support, all these songs and all this energy \u2013 I love it \u2013 but keep the fire outside of the stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dundee boss Tony Docherty admitted he thought the game was going to be abandoned when referee Kevin Clancy took the players off the pitch. He said: \u201cIt was a bizarre night and at one stage I thought the game wasn\u2019t going to go ahead. I was trying to keep the boys focused.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we start the game and because of the pyros we get brought in again. There\u2019s a debate on whether there\u2019s a place for that but the game was almost abandoned.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police took control and I didn\u2019t think we were going to go back out again. That affects focus. When it\u2019s almost causing matches to be abandoned I think we need to address it.\u201d<\/p>\n
