The First Minister has said she is "utterly disgusted" by scenes that took place in Glasgow yesterday. 

Rangers Football Club was awarded the Scottish Premiership after their match with Aberdeen. 

Fans gathered at Ibrox and in George Square to celebrate the title victory. 

In a statement on Twitter Nicola Sturgeon said: "I'm understandably inundated with messages about yday's disgraceful scenes in Glasgow.

"Police still have a job to do, which restrains my comments to some extent - but to say i'm utterly disgusted by the Rangers fans who rampaged through the city would be an understatement...

"I'm also angry on behalf of every law abiding citizen. In normal times, the violence and vandalism, & the vile anti Catholic prejudice that was on display, would have been utterly unacceptable. 

"But mid-pandemic, in a city with cases on the rise, it was also selfish beyond belief.

"People across the country still living under the most difficult restrictions - not being able to see family or attend weddings and funerals - are rightly furious at the irresponsible actions of a thuggish minority who seem to care little for the risks they pose to other people."

On Friday the First Minister announced that Glasgow would not be moving to Level Two with the easing of restrictions on Monday.

The reason for the delay is being a concern for rising cases. 

Glasgow will remain in Level Three for a further 7 days with a review taking place next week to consider if the city can then be moved into Level Two.
