Scottish First Minister John Swinney condemned violent fan clashes after a Rangers-Celtic Cup match, vowing action on football banning orders.
Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney condemned violent clashes between Rangers and Celtic fans after their Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox, where supporters stormed the pitch, attacked stewards and police, and triggered multiple arrests.
He called the behavior “completely and utterly unacceptable,” citing dangers to fans, staff, and officers, and said he would not take his teenage son to future Old Firm matches.
While not calling for games to be played behind closed doors, Swinney pledged urgent action, including engagement with clubs, the Scottish Football Association, and police, and a review of existing football banning orders, with potential new measures if re-elected in May.
The incident adds to a pattern of fan violence in high-stakes fixtures, including the 2024 League Cup final.
