Police Scotland confirmed that a number of officers were dispatched to the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel on Cambridge Street, at around 7pm on Sunday after reports of an “incident” but established no criminality had been committed. A spokesperson said: “Police were called at 7pm following reports of a disturbance at the Hilton Hotel on Cambridge Street, Glasgow. “Officers established no criminality has been committed. We provided advice to the hotel.” Video posted on social media appeared to show around 20-25 people attempting to gain access to the hotel just hours after Rangers had lost 5-0 to Celtic, with the home side securing their seventh successive league title.

Unconfirmed reports suggested that a handful of supporters had managed to confront some players, with an eyewitness telling The Sun: “They were shouting at directors and gaining entry via fire exits. “They stormed the hotel via the front entrance and opened fire exits to allow more people in. They were shouting at club officials about the current situation and the scoreline today.” “They let off bangers at the front entrance of the hotel. The players and club officials were coming into the hotel when it was going on.” Fans had already criticised the club for going ahead with the event after another heavy defeat to their Old Firm rivals.Read more at: https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/fans-storm-hotel-hosting-rangers-player-of-the-year-ceremony-1-4732267?utm_campaign=The Scotsman - Daily RSS&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=62532871&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--cosPKlKyPTMcWHQ0qG_FWEaTNcQpEFbrTk9CzxLIjPsVcYijWjUVauVumZtIC9Pe6pAcc0Hb8WMFo2I7mbEK7YbVqdg&_hsmi=62532871 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report above doesn't say it happened inside the hotel either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 14,260 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 A few lads turned up and caused a bit of a fuss. They didn't get into the room where the awards were being held, thus the differing reports. I don't blame them. The players could do with a fright. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGers 477 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Sounds like an absolute non-story. Probably another for the fake news thread. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
