Rangers fans have broken coronavirus lockdown rules in Scotland by gathering in numbers outside Ibrox Stadium setting off flares.

Fans were seen crowding around a car entering the ground as police tried to hold them back.

Under coronavirus rules, public gatherings are banned and a maximum of two people from two households are allowed to meet outdoors.

“The atmosphere was electric. We’ve waited 10 years for our club to get back to where we belong,” the 34-year-old told PA.

“Credit must go to the gaffer and his backroom staff as well as the board for backing him. I hope everyone can see us now.

“I know social gatherings aren’t permitted just now but there was a lot of face masks on people today and with it being outside I hope it doesn’t ruffle too many feathers.”
