‘Disgraceful’ Rangers fans crowd in Glasgow square despite coronavirus warnings

Rangers fans were cleared from Glasgow’s George Square because of “rising disorder” after hours-long celebrations despite warnings against mass public gatherings due to coronavirus.

Thousands of fans took to the city’s streets on Saturday after the team won its first Scottish Premiership trophy in a decade.

After many hours, the remaining fans were forcibly cleared from George Square just after 9pm, with Police Scotland describing the fans’ behaviour as “disgraceful”.

[niknoks]

What a conundrum. People crowd to act out. Here comes the press to make it front page. The more it's covered, the more people crowd to act out. Press and rioters need each other, serve each other, promote each other.

Nothing disgraceful in football fans enjoying a garden party, similar to Boris Johnson just a misinterpretation of numbers arrived at a public venue.
