Rangers has hit out at 'discriminatory and misogynistic comments' made in the wake of the women's game after Sunday's Sky Sports Cup triumph.
Jo Potter's side ran out comfortable 4-1 winners against Partick Thistle on Sunday afternoon.
Mia McAulay, Rachel Rowe, Rio Hardy and Olivia McLoughlin scored the goals as the Ibrox club took the first step towards a potential treble this season, with the SWPL title and Scottish Cup very much up for grabs.
However, in the days since the game, some remarks have been made on social media by prominent figures about the standard of women's football.
And Rangers say they stand together against such 'homophobic and disgraceful slurs'.
A club statement reads: "Rangers FC has been made aware of discriminatory and misogynistic comments regarding the women’s game following Sunday’s Sky Sports Cup Final.
"As a club, we stand together against these homophobic and disgraceful slurs in the strongest possible terms.
"We are unwavering in our desire to further the women’s game across the country which goes from strength to strength, and will support all players in challenging those who hold extremely outdated and foul views of women’s football."
After the game, Gers head coach Potter made it known what the target is for the remainder of the season.

“I think it is big,” Potter said. “It is all about momentum. The first trophy is always difficult. We are always there, we are still there to be caught and we are the ones at the forefront of the league that are there to be got at. Everyone wants to get us. We expect it.
"It is how we perform under that, how we take that pressure. I think that is a big moment today. To retain a trophy is never easy and I said to the girls ‘this is your trophy, make sure you keep your hands on it and retain it’. We go again for the next one."
