Connor Goldson says missiles were thrown during Rangers’ draw with Porto
Rangers defender Connor Goldson revealed he had been hit with a variety of missiles during his side’s 1-1 draw with Porto in Portugal.
The centre-back also thought Alfredo Morelos was struck as he celebrated his side’s equaliser in a 1-1 Europa League draw at the Estadio do Dragao.
Goldson pointed out what happened to the referee in the wake of the Colombian’s 44th-minute strike.
He said: “There was a lot of lighters and coins getting thrown. I got hit by a lighter and a coin. I think Buff (Morelos) got hit as well.
“Then the referee told me to stop (celebrating) and walk away and I just picked up the lighter and coin and told him, but nothing got done.
“Its crazy. I can understand having a passion for your team but at the same time they have come to watch us as athletes trying to do our best for our own team, and I don’t think that’s acceptable.”

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
