Last updated 25th Oct 2021
The Scottish FA has confirmed is will investigate tweets made by St Mirren Chairman, John Needham.
A number of historic posts, including references to the Ibrox club's support were uncovered after St Mirren's 2-1 loss at the weekend.
The alleged comments will be investigated by the Compliance Officer - but an outcome could take several weeks.
Mr Needham has since apologised on Twitter, and has called his actions "inappropriate."
The tweets read: "On Friday 22 October a number of Tweets I created in the past referring to Rangers fans were highlighted on Twitter.
"As a club chairman I have extra responsibility for the conduct and example I show.
"These posts are completely inappropriate and do not reflect my character or beliefs as a person and I very much regret them.
"I apologise unreservedly to the Directors and fans of Rangers and to everyone at St Mirren. I am acutely aware of my responsibilities. This won't happen again."
