The group then went to the city centre’s Argyle Street where Wason, now 19, of Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, joined them.<\/p>\n
Members of the public – who were reported to be “frightened and scared” – were forced to take refuge in nearby shops while police officers drew batons at the Celtic fans.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Kyle Dalziel said: “Around 12.30pm, both fans advanced towards each other and were separated by less than 500 metres.<\/p>\n
“Both came together, challenging each other to fight and mass disorder took place.”<\/p>\n
The court heard how vehicles were unable to move as the disturbance broke out on the roads.<\/p>\n
But police officers were able to control the situation and put a cordon in place.<\/p>\n
Rangers fans were then put on a train from Glasgow Central to Mount Florida, while the Celtic supporters were marched to the game on foot.<\/p>\n
Wason was arrested on 3 April 2025 and pleaded guilty to a single charge of breach of the peace.<\/p>\n
Mark Chambers, defending, told the court: “He was 17 at the time.<\/p>\n
“There was no individual act attributable to him but he was there.<\/p>\n
“He plans to enrol in a college engineering course.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The group then went to the city centre’s Argyle Street where Wason, now 19, of Barrhead, East Renfrewshire,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-534134","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
