"The disorder that occurred on Sunday was unacceptable and we condemn it unequivocally. Safety must always come first in football, for supporters, players and everyone working in and around the game. There are now a number of serious issues which require proper examination. For that reason, we agree that there should be a fully independent review into the events surrounding the match."
"Rangers have vowed to represent the club and their supporters robustly but say they will take action - including the potential withdrawal of ticketing privileges and stadium bans - against anyone identified and convicted."
"The SFA hope the review will ensure no repeat of what unfolded, which they say tarnished the image and reputation of the game. The governing body's compliance officer is gathering evidence from the match and any alleged breaches will be notified to relevant parties in line with the judicial panel protocol."
