Three police officers are injured and 20 arrested after Rangers fans ignored tighter lockdown in Glasgow to celebrate unbeaten season

Three police officers have been injured and 20 people arrested after Rangers fans ignored lockdown rules as they wildly celebrated their unbeaten season in central Glasgow last night, despite concerns that a virulent Indian Covid strain is driving up cases.

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.

Thousands marched to the city centre from Ibrox stadium to clamber onto statutes and monuments and let off flares and smoke bombs, despite warnings against large gatherings due to coronavirus.
