Own goal over altered image
 
 

In the Evening Times print edition of May 2, an image of Rangers fans celebrating after the club's UEFA Cup semi-final win over Fiorentina was altered.

While the photograph appeared in full in the online edition, we have received a number of complaints from readers.

Today Evening Times editor Donald Martin said: "As a Glasgow based newspaper we are always mindful of the sensitivities involved in covering the Old Firm.

"We are champions of both clubs and their supporters and always try to ensure our coverage is balanced.

"On this occasion we failed to take into account that the fans were displaying a recognised flag. The picture was, however, used in full online.

"We apologise for any upset we may have caused and wish Rangers and their supporters the best of luck on Wednesday."
