Police thank stay-at-home fans

- GEORGE GRANT

POLICE Scotland have thanked Old Firm fans after feared mass gatherings failed to materialis­e. Following Rangers’ title win this month, hundreds took to the Glasgow streets to celebrate, flouting social-distancing and mass-gathering rules. Fans had been warned against gatherings ahead of the game yesterday and Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins said: ‘I’d like to thank the vast majority of fans from both clubs who took responsibi­lity to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 by not gathering at Celtic Park or anywhere else. Where small groups of people did gather, officers encouraged them to disperse and return home.’
