Derby riot: Rapid’s reaction to the league ruling
On Tuesday, the Bundesliga announced the penalties against Rapid and Austria following the derby scandal ten days ago. The Green-Whites have accepted the verdict and will not lodge a protest.
As announced by Senate 1 of the Bundesliga, both clubs must pay the highest possible fine of 150,000 euros each. The two rivals will not be forced to play matches without a home crowd, but will each be banned from their home grounds for three matches for a period of two years.
"Rapid will not register a protest"
The decision of the league was "of course taken note of" and "as there was undisputed misconduct surrounding this derby, which SK Rapid condemns in the strongest terms, no protest will be lodged", the Rapid team announced in a press release.
Immediately after the riots, the two Viennese clubs had already agreed to play the next four derbies without away fans.
