The 21-year-old was arrested and charged after the riot, which was widely condemned at the time. Police said she will be the subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal. It comes after a grave warning from top cop Deputy Chief Constable Will Kerr, who earlier this month warned may more arrests would be made following the disorder that visited the city centre on May 15. Our officers became the focus of the crowd s attention with missiles and flares being thrown at them, Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland, Police Scotland s Divisional Commander for Greater Glasgow, said in a statement released at the time.
Glasgow (AFP) – Three police officers were injured and more than 20 arrests made after Rangers fans packed into the streets of Glasgow on Saturday to celebrate winning the Scottish Premiership with an unbeaten record.
Steven Gerrard’s side had already been confirmed as champions over two months ago, but fans gathered in large numbers outside Ibrox Stadium for a 4-0 win over Aberdeen on the day they were presented with the league trophy.
The entire Scottish season has been played behind closed doors due to coronavirus restrictions.
A spike in positive cases in Glasgow saw the Scottish government on Friday maintain restrictions on indoor mixing of households and hospitality that will be eased for the rest of mainland Scotland on Monday.
“I understand the significance of this day for Rangers fans but I am extremely disappointed that supporters have once again ignored Covid regulations and chosen to gather in large numbers in Glasgow,” Mr Yousaf said.
“This selfish and irresponsible behaviour endangers the lives of others – supporters, the police on duty and the wider community.”
Earlier on Saturday, Rangers defeated Aberdeen 4-0 at Ibrox before collecting the Scottish Premiership silverware.
