A fight broke out at TRNSMT as crowds gathered at Glasgow Green on the festival’s opening night.

Two teenagers were seen punching each other near the big wheel area at around 8pm, with dozens of revellers watching on.

Video footage shared with the Daily Record shows a crowd of around 40 to 50 people following the pair as the incident moved across the site before being broken up by a steward.

One onlooker claimed staff were slow to respond, according to the Daily Record.

She said: "The guy that was getting battered looked absolutely knackered.

"It just seems like a lot of people here can't handle their drink - they were really going for it.

"I said to a few of the stewards.- 'there's a fight can you help'. But they just said 'aw it'll be all right.

"And then I said to a couple of other stewards but they just said 'oh ok'.

"When they were at the big wheel, a guy came in a yellow vest with a radio and split it up.

"But before that it was just a free for all - there were about 50 people following them."

TRNSMT organisers DF Concerts have been approached for comment.

The festival returned to Glasgow Green this weekend, with acts including Kasabian, CMAT, Richard Ashcroft, Amy Macdonald and Lewis Capaldi set to perform.

A fan zone was also set up to show Scotland’s World Cup match against Morocco
