VB fully believe every Rangers fan who defended their Club's players and supporters from attack by screaming, hate-filled hordes at Hampden Park on Saturday, deserve our backing and full support. With this in mind, we are asking for donations, big or small, to help our fellow Bears in their time of need.

No football club or support wishes to see fans fighting on the field of play or terraces, but on this occasion, we feel the Rangers support had no choice but to stand up and be counted. We would also hope the RFFF committee see fit to release some funds to help our fellow Bears.

Let's be very clear here, the Rangers supporters who defended their players and fellow fans did the job of the police and stewards who stood idly by and watched our players being attacked, and our support taunted and subjected to attacks in person and by missiles.
