Rangers fan in court after drum stolen and woman attacked outside Hampden

A Rangers fan accused of possessing a stolen drum before a match against St Johnstone has been ordered not to attend the Glasgow club’s games.

Arran Watt, 22, is alleged to have committed the offence outside Glasgow’s Hampden Park on August 17, 2024.

Rangers later faced the Perth side in a match the hosts won 2-0.

Court papers state Watt, of Irvine, North Ayrshire, reset a drum which had been dishonestly appropriated by assault and robbery.

In Scotland, possession of stolen goods is known as reset and includes property acquired by theft, robbery, fraud or embezzlement.

Watt also faces a separate charge of conducting himself in a disorderly manner on Letherby Drive.

It is claimed that he formed part of a disorderly crowd, ran through a crowd there and ran away from police officers.

Allegations go on to say Watt struggled with the officers, refused to cooperate with them when lawfully required to do so and committed breach of the peace.

Watt made no plea at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court to both charges and was represented by his lawyer Declan O’Keefe.

Watt, who appeared from custody, was committed for further examination and was granted bail by Sheriff Paul Reid.

The sheriff ordered that as part of his bail conditions, Watt must not be within 500 metres of the stadium where Rangers are playing regulated football matches on the day of the game.

His next court appearance is to be determined.

On Monday afternoon, Rangers announced it had banned four fans indefinitely after a woman was assaulted and robbed prior to the club’s Premier Cup clash.
