A Rangers spokesperson said: “Clearly, this flag is absolutely unacceptable and the club condemns the displaying of it within our stadium in the strongest possible terms. The club can confirm an investigation is now under way.” But officers from Police Scotland are also probing the display of the flag, the force confirmed to STV News. The 'death head', which was used by the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf during WWII who committed racially motivated massacres in France, was seen on a flag on September 30. Members of the army, Royal Air Force and navy were also in attendance at Ibrox to celebrate armed forces day.
It is still massive,” said David Kaplan, a Jewish supporter of Heart of Midlothian, an Edinburgh club historically associated with the Protestant population. “Every club in Scotland has a religious affiliation in Scotland. Even if they don’t admit it, they all do.”A similar skull and crossbones were seen on a Rangers flag during their Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic at the end of April this year. The flag read 'Active Unite, 936, The Firm'. The problems preoccupying Scotland’s aging Jewish core — that its youth are bleeding away to Britain’s Jewish capitals London and Manchester in search of opportunities and are not returning — are common in smaller Jewish communities across the United Kingdom. The Glasgow club had invited members of the Royal Air Force, army, and navy to the stadium on Saturday to coincide with Armed Forces Day. Jews felt that they were caught in the middle,” said Harvey Kaplan of the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre in Glasgow. “Jews also probably had less bother because… Protestants and Catholics were more likely to be fighting each other.” Had Third Lanark survived, it might have developed into a team with a reputation for Jewish support, much like Tottenham in England. In the 1920s and 1930s, Third Lanark, situated near a Jewish neighborhood, even fielded one of the very few Scottish Jewish professional footballers, Sam Latter. As late as 1960, the Jewish Chronicle reported that a quarter of the 6,000-strong crowd at Third Lanark’s stadium were Jews.

This has made Scotland’s 5,000 or so Jews an oddity in the Scottish soccer landscape. Unencumbered by the religious and cultural baggage of their Christian peers, many Jews can choose more freely which teams they want to root for. Rangers football club have confirmed an investigation is underway after a flag bearing a symbol linked to the Nazis was seen displayed in the home section at Ibrox on Saturday. The emblem, known as “death’s head,” was used by the 3rd SS panzer division during the second world war – known for committing a slew of war crimes including the murder of millions of people at concentration camps. Rangers have since 'condemned' the use of the image and the flag within the stadium. Police Scotland has confirmed that enquiries are still ongoing.A spokesperson said: “Officers were made aware of a banner at a football match at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday, September 30. The 29-year-old later told police that he did not do a Nazi salute but a gesture for the "hand and the Crown."
