Man sought after ‘reckless’ incident at Rangers vs Dundee United match Police Scotland

A man is being sought for information by police following an incident at a Rangers vs Dundee United match last year.

Officers have released CCTV images of the Ibrox attendee, who may have information which could help with enquiries into an “instance of culpable and reckless conduct” at the SPFL match on September 17, 2022.

Constable Daniel Brady of the Greater Glasgow Divisional Violence Reduction Unit said: “I would urge the man, or anyone who has information relating to him, depicted in the images to make contact with police.

“Members of the public can contact Police Scotland via the 101 non-emergency telephone number quoting incident number 1428 of September 17, 2022 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Rangers ended a three-game losing streak on the day, with a 2-1 win over Dundee United at Ibrox.

Earlier, a small section of attendees had disrupted a minute’s silence being held in memory of the Queen.

Boos and chanting could be heard emanating from the corner of the stadium, which housed around 50,000 supporters of both sides.

In a statement on the Dundee United website, a club spokesperson said at the time: “Dundee United are aware of the actions of a small section of the crowd who chose to not respect the minute’s silence before this afternoon’s match at Ibrox.

“As a club, ahead of the game we reached out to advise our supporters of the pre-match arrangements with the expectation that the minute silence would be observed.”
