Rangers: Fans fume over Joe Aribo penalty incident

Lots of Glasgow Rangers fans have been left fuming over an incident involving Joe Aribo in their 2-0 win in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.

The Nigeria international went down inside the box early on in the second half of their match against Brondby, but no penalty was given after a check from VAR.

Should Rangers have sold Aribo?

Yes

Yes

No

No

It would have capped off what was a very good overall performance from Aribo, who impressed many members of the Ibrox faithful particularly for his display in the first half.

Luckily for Steven Gerrard’s team, they were already 2-0 up at that stage thanks to goals in the first half from Leon Balogun and Kemar Roofe, but if goal difference becomes a factor in terms of qualifying for the knockout phase, then Light Blues supporters will surely go back to this incident.

Rangers fans on Aribo penalty claim

These Teddy Bears fumed on Twitter after the penalty was not given, with one Ger even going as far as to claim that it was a ‘shocking’ decision:

“Baffling outcome. Is it because we kept possession for ages afterwards n there was no stoppage so they just didn’t bother and assumed everybody would forget about it?”
