Glen Kamara showed his versatility by stepping behind the bar to serve up the booze following his side’s 4-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday.
Across Scotland no alcohol was allowed to be served in-doors but in one of the Ibrox hospitality bars the former Dundee and Arsenal midfielder was serving up very generous measures. The video doesn’t appear to have been doctored.
It seems that almost all of Steven Gerrard’s squad were enjoying the lock-in alongside members of the backroom staff and specially invited guest. There is no sign of the Liverpool legend during the video.

The video clip is certain to be of interest to Police Scotland and the Licencing Board of Glasgow City Council. It will be a surprise of Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf don’t ask for an explanation from the SFA about the video being in breach of the protocols agreed to allow professional football to continue while the rest of Scotland has been in Lockdown.
Police Scotland are already investigating other video clips from the same location for sectarian comments as the players sing along to Sweet Caroline with their bespoke add-ons.
Yesterday the club from Ibrox leaked correspondence with the Scottish Government in which they were wanting permission to have 10,000 fans at Saturday’s match and again at special events for the next four days.
Clearly the seriousness of the pandemic hasn’t registered at Ibrox where they stage Lock-Ins inside licenced premises while Scotland is closed. On Saturday folk couldn’t have in-doors visitors but Gerrard’s club wanted 10,000 to attend a football match.
Following the Europa League tie against Slavia Prague in March UEFA issued Kamara with a three match suspension for attacking an opponents outwith the playing area.
We are aware of a video circulating on social media apparently showing Rangers players using sectarian language while celebrating on Saturday. We are assessing its contents and will liaise with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service as part of our enquiries.
