Clean-up operation on George Square after Rangers fans' title celebrations

A clean-up operation is underway on George Square after Ranges fans' title celebrations.

Police arrested 28 people as Rangers fans gathered in their thousands to celebrate the club winning the Premiership.

Glasgow’s police chief said officers were faced with “a very difficult set of circumstances” as they tried to control the crowds on Sunday.

Football fans flocked to George Square in breach of coronavirus restrictions and could be seen singing, drinking and letting off fireworks.

The scenes were condemned by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who said the fans were putting the planned loosening of lockdown restrictions at risk.

Where were all those people that protected the status and benches in George Square last Summer?

Nothing but selfish ignorant fans who left the streets littered with smashed glass & rubbish, destroyed a memorial bench etc. Shame on all of them.

These are the same far right royalists that went berserk to protect these statues and benches 🤣🤣 they’re so thick

Horrible people, they ruined george square broke glass and destroyed memorial benches

After Barcelona and Manchester this has to be the most destructive moment in the history of Glasgow rangers. They have cemented their place in the British Isles as being the most thug like, racist like, bigoted like, destructive like, and overall disliked football club in the land.

The fact that George Square is the view from the City Chambers, you would think the council would clean the statues.

Disgraceful behaviour and action last weekend and before anyone comments, I would say the same if it were any other team, sport or event that was behind this. And folk wonder why I don't like Football
