Everyone Anyone

Each person involved in the creation, implementation and launch of Everyone Anyone is totally committed to its key messages of tolerance, togetherness and the championing of diversity and inclusion for all.

A broad range of supporters from a variety of different backgrounds took part in a photoshoot at Ibrox last summer ahead of the high-profile media launch on July 22, 2019 and the club is extremely proud of its evolution.

A new Fans Charter was also launched before our Europa League home game against Braga in February and over the course of the season matchday programmes, the club website and social media channels have featured some of the personal stories from the fans showcased in the campaign visuals.

Everyone Anyone has been widely praised since its inception but the club will continue the hard work in this area. E.A. aims to promote Rangers as a modern football club through which fans can come together and support a common cause – equality for everyone.

In collaboration with the Rangers Charity Foundation, we will work to champion diversity, encourage tolerance and understanding and promote positive behaviour.

So what do the supporters themselves feel about Everyone Anyone and their involvement?

Here are the thoughts of some of the fans, players, club legends and staff who were delighted to back this worthy initiative:
