Rangers reveller who threw bottle at police given unpaid work

-

A Fife dock worker threw a bottle at police during the Rangers title celebratio­ns in 2021.

Graeme Conners, 38, claimed he committed the crime to bring attention to a woman he believed was being manhandled.

Thousands of fellow jubilant Gers fans gathered at Glasgow’s George Square to celebrate the club’s first Scottish Premiershi­p title win on May 15 2021.

The city’s sheriff court was told there were supporters and members of the public “causing large-scale acts of violence directed towards police”.

Conners, of Kincardine, previously pled guilty to culpable and reckless conduct. He was ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work.
