Thousands of Rangers fans gathered at the club’s stadium, training ground and George Square in Glasgow’s city centre in violation of lockdown rules as they celebrated the team’s 55th league crown when Celtic drew with Dundee United. However, the incident did upset Rangers manager Steven Gerrard who has urged fans to remain at home amid the COVID-19 crisis and not follow them to Parkhead when they face bitter rivals Celtic next Sunday.
Scottish police arrested 28 soccer fans and fined several others last week following wild celebrations
The gatherings were met with anger by the general public, with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon saying fans risked the country’s progress in containing the novel coronavirus and described the scenes as “infuriating and disgraceful”.
