John Swinney has hit out at the club from Ibrox for failing to exercise control over their supporters.
At Ibrox on Saturday there was multiple examples of law breaking with Steven Gerrard car sharing, players mixing with fans through a gate and hanging out dressing room windows to encourage law breakers.
Throughout Sunday individual fans were alerted to celebrations in George Square without a single comment from the club to warn against law breaking. Bizarrely Police Scotland then accompanied fans to George Square.
John swinney says it should have been the “duty” of Rangers FC to tell fans to go home last night. Says there was a “defeaning silence”. He says Gov think this is a “deep element of concern”
Chief medical officer says scenes were “demoralising” for him and NHS colleagues
