Bucharest trouble disappoints Bain
However Bain was also critical of the Romanian police tactics and poor organisation during Wednesday night's Champions League match against Unirea Urziceni at the Steaua Stadium.[LNB]There was unrest as Rangers fans attempted to enter the stadium before kick-off, while reports suggested some away supporters ripped up seats during the match.[LNB]Bain claimed a promise that four turnstiles would be open for visiting fans was not kept, causing problems which were compounded, he claimed, by police using CS gas against angered Light Blues' supporters.[LNB]Bain said on Rangers' official website: "Obviously the behaviour of some of the fans inside the stadium was unacceptable and no-one likes to see that.[LNB]"However, what was equally unacceptable was the fact that Rangers came to this stadium with representatives from UEFA and Unirea a number of weeks ago and arranged for the four turnstiles to be open to give access to our supporters.[LNB]"When they arrived this evening, there were only two turnstiles open which caused difficulty gaining access and fans then to be sprayed with CS gas is totally unacceptable.[LNB]"I will now make representation to UEFA in their behalf."[LNB]Trouble at the match was described as a "minor incident" by Andy Kerr, president of the Rangers Supporters Assembly.[LNB]Kerr told Sky Sports News: "There was a bit of pressure at the front. Spray was used, which was used before the start of the match, and I think people reacted to that.[LNB]"I wouldn't say the Rangers fans did anything wrong. The organisation was very poor.[LNB]"(Before the match) they had two cordons of barriers to let people through. They used the spray there on more than one occasion and people were quite distressed by that."[LNB]Kerr did not see any fans ripping up seats, but stressed such behaviour was unacceptable.[LNB]"We don't condone it, we don't want to see it, but the vast majority of people behaved impeccably," he said.[LNB]"In the big scheme of things, (it's) a minor incident."[LNB]Kerr recalled a similar incident at an away game in 2005.[LNB]"The last incident I could remember was in Bratislava when we played Artmedia," he said.[LNB]"They almost seem surprised that we all turn up about a half hour before the game."[LNB][LNB]
