Nicola Sturgeon condemns ‘disgraceful’ Rangers fans who ‘rampaged’ through Glasgow to celebrate title win leaving five police officers injured and 20 arrested

Nicola Sturgeon today condemned Rangers fans who 'rampaged' through central Glasgow last night to wildly celebrate their unbeaten season as 'disgraceful' after five police officers were injured and 20 people were arrested.

Riot police were sent into George Square on Saturday as punch-ups broke out among the supporters following their 4-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday afternoon, which saw them claim their 55th Scottish top-flight title.

Around 15,000 fans ignored lockdown rules and marched to the city centre from Ibrox stadium to clamber onto statutes and monuments and let off flares and smoke bombs, despite concerns that a virulent Indian Covid strain is driving up cases.
