Mrs Barrass

Thank you @Dumbarton_Acad for having us to take part in the 2025 European Day of Languages Quiz! A very big well done to all involved for your preparation & participation. 👍

On Wednesday 24th September we were delighted to host this year’s P7 classes for our annual European Day of Languages quiz. We were so impressed with everyone’s knowledge of all things European! Congratulations go to Libby from @BraeheadPrimary who was the overall winner!

@KilkennyChris @RangersFC Maybe try the Supporters Liason Officer? Slo@rangers.co.uk Unsure if they have an account on here, I know other teams do but that's who I would recommend.

I need to share this experience we had as it is absolutely out of order. Yesterday I was at the @RangersFC V Club Brugge game with the kids and this happened. Around 20 minutes into the game, my 11-year-old daughter quietly told me that she had started her period and didn’t have any sanitary products with her she also attended the bathroom in the stadium which didn’t have any suitable sanitary products available for a young girl. Naturally, I got the children together and prepared to leave the stadium briefly to go to a shop, get her what she needed, and return to watch the rest of the game. I approached a female member of the security team, explained the situation clearly and respectfully, and asked if I would be able to return once I had taken care of my daughter. I was told that if I left, I would not be allowed back in. I was absolutely shocked by this response, particularly given the sensitive nature of the issue and the amount I had paid for the tickets. Of course, I couldn’t keep my daughter waiting or embarrass her further, so we all left the stadium to get her sorted. When we attempted to return, we were refused entry and ultimately missed the rest of the game. I am extremely disappointed by how this situation was handled, especially as I had explained it clearly to a female security staff member. I feel the lack of understanding and compassion was unacceptable, and I am left feeling both let down and frustrated although the money isn’t my main concern it’s still disgraceful that my family spends hundreds of pounds on tickets. I hope this message will be seen by someone from the club who will in turn take this up with the security provider and myself as I know rangers would never condone this treatment of a young girl in this situation. Does anyone know which company provides the security on match-days I should of took note at the time but I obviously was more concerned with making sure my daughter was okay, I would like to tag them directly and contact them, if anyone can put me in touch I would be grateful.
