Rangers Fans Amass Outside Ibrox Stadium to Celebrate League Championship Win

Fans of Rangers FC gathered en masse outside Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, after the team secured the Scottish Premiership title on on March 7.

A draw between Celtic FC and Dundee United on Sunday cemented the Rangers’s victory, giving the Glasgow club their 55th title and dashing Celtic’s hopes to continue their nine-year wining streak.

A large crowd of fans gathered outside the team’s home stadium to celebrate, despite recommended COVID-19 safety protocol and local mandates banning gatherings.

“I congratulate [Rangers FC] on the title win & recognise what a moment this is for fans. But gathering in crowds just now risks lives, and could delay exit from lockdown for everyone else. If those gathering care at all about the safety of others & the country, they will go home,” tweeted First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon. Credit: @TrashPandaArt via Storyful
