The Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police says she is “disappointed” after Rangers fans ran riot in the city.
Trouble flared when the giant screen in Piccadilly Gardens failed at 7.30pm. Angry supporters threw bottles at the screen, then at riot police. After five hours of running battles with the drunken fans, police managed to restore order to the streets, which were left strewn with broken glass and rubbish.
“I’m really sickened and disappointed,” said the Deputy Chief Constable, Justine Curran. “We don’t know much about football in quiet, sleepy Manchester, where friendly bobbies tip their caps politely to the peaceable, law-abiding citizenry when asked for the time. But if these idiots are willing to spend a small fortune travelling all this way just to watch football on a big telly when they could just have gone to their local or sat in their own front rooms, then I suppose they’re capable of any act of stupidity.”
