Deputy First Minister criticises Rangers response to Ibrox celebrations

Deputy First Minister John Swinney has criticised the Ibrox club after fans congregated in George Square and outside Ibrox Stadium to celebrate.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the "silence from Rangers was deafening" as he criticised the club for failing to order thousands of fans gathered in Glasgow on Sunday to go home.

Police made 28 arrests after fans congregated in George Square and outside Ibrox to celebrate Rangers' first Scottish Premiership title in 10 years.

Reasons for arrest included assaulting police officers, breaching coronavirus regulations, disorder, use of flares and sectarian breaches of the peace.

He added there were a number of minor injuries to members of the public, some through intoxication.

He said the police operation was pre-planned and praised officers, saying many "put their own health at risk".

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Sunday the "infuriating and disgraceful" scenes could jeopardise plans to ease the coronavirus restrictions and urged Rangers to ask people to go home.
