RANGERS fans groups have paid tribute to the hundreds of supporters who gathered to protest against Sports Direct and it's owner Mike Ashley.
The demonstration outside the Ibrox club shop came before Rangers victory over Alloa in the Championship.
It was estimated that up to 2000 fans gathered for Saturday's protest calling for a boycott of Sports Direct.
Thank you to everyone who turned out yesterday.

Supporters chanted "where's the money gone" and "if you hate Mike Ashley clap you hands" among other songs.
A petition calling for a boycott of Sports Direct has attracted over 8,000 signatures.
At one point protest organisers urged some fans to stop chants of "scum" directed at those who appeared to have bought from the shop.
The protest came after Ashley took an even tighter grip on Rangers' retail division and now shares a place on the board with club chairman Dave King - despite attempts to renegotiate the joint venture.
The Sports Direct supremo had already been the ultimate controlling party of Rangers Retail and now his people outnumber King's by three to two.
The Rangers Supporters Trust criticised the retail deal saying the club gets as little as 50p from every ten pounds spent.
Sports Direct has sold nearly £4 million of goods to club outlets in the last year.
It means that the sports firm headed by Mr Ashley, who owns 8.9% of the club plc, has taken nearly £8 million in two years of sales to the Rangers Retail joint venture, which runs the club's entire retail and merchandise operation, including the club's Rangers Megastore.
The majority of that money has gone as Rangers Retail is buying Rangers merchandise, including replica kits, gifts, polo shirts and track suits from Sports Direct for use in club outlets.
Sports Direct insist the sales of goods to Rangers Retail are at "cost plus a small handling fee" and that Rangers sells on the stock to its customers in its shops “and keeps all of the sales proceeds,
Two years ago Rangers announced a five-year kit deal with sports brand Puma, who were according to the club the "official supplier and licensee of replica mechandise for the club". They are described by Sports Direct as a "key strategic partner" for their business.
