RANGERS fans have hit out after images of the Lyon team bus covered in graffiti surfaced on social media today.
The French side face the light blues in the group stages of the Europa league at Ibrox tonight.
Supporters were disgusted to see the team's coach covered in what appeared to be graffiti including "RFC"; "F*** Lyon" and "Rangers Ultras".

Some took to social media, with one saying: "That’s out of order. They’ve come over to play us at Ibrox, they at least deserve enough respect not to have their bus vandalised. We’re better than that."
Another said: "Like really what's the need? Seriously do these idiots actually like seeing our clubs name in the paper for negative stuff? Because this is next."
Police Scotland are now probing the incident, thought to have taken place outside of the Ingliston Country Club in Renfrewshire overnight.
A spokesperson for the force said: "Around 8.30am on Thursday, 16 September, police received a report of a bus being vandalised outside a hotel in Old Greenock Road, Langbank.
"Enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
