Hibernian's Martin Boyle removes a glass bottle from the pitch at Easter Road, which was thrown from the standsRangers manager Steven Gerrard has called for "serious actions" from clubs to protect players from missiles thrown by spectators. A glass bottle thrown from the stand landed near Borna Barisic during Rangers' win at Hibernian on Friday. 'Set a severe example'Last season players, managers and officials were struck by coins and a glass bottle was aimed at Celtic's Scott Sinclair. Hibs will use upgraded CCTV to identify the culprit from Friday's incident but Gerrard fears things are "going backwards rather than forwards". "They need to be punished and punished heavily so it stops other people trying to do it in the future," the Rangers manager added.
