The hooligans on the video were spoiling for a fight, unfortunately the Police were not able (this time) to stand up to them.
This could -in hindsight- have been put down quickly if the Police were given the right resources,Rubber bullets etc- maybe real ones, these scots are pretty tough...

The truth of the matter is that this government is running scared of the people. It would'nt take much for a rerun of the Poll Tax riot of the 1990s.
Discouraging the people from grouping together to watch a game is just a control method to stop us roiting. The people are angry.

why is it only football? why not rugby, or cricket, or ANYTHING else? and the council gave them every opportunity to cause havoc when everyone knows football+drink equates to trouble. the clubs have to seriously discourage such behavior and begin to foot the bill for any damage caused.

I guess Chelsea fans feel the need to try and trash a beautiful city like London because you wouldn't be allowed in Moscow.

I guess Rangers fans feel the need to try and trash a beautiful city like Manchester because you wouldn't notice if they did it in Glasgow.

Why are the people of Manchester being punished for something 200 Glaswegians did?
It's not fair. Alot of the pubs near the triangle in manchester rely on the screen games for business.

dee, macclesfield, england

Why has this debate turned from the condemnation of some violent thugs to the condemnation of a whole nation? To the Scots - shame on you. To fans of Rangers FC - shame on you. To the 99,500 fans who had a good time and did no wrong - shame on you. Are you serious????? And yes I'm a Scot.

Gayl, Falkirk, Scotland

Can I just point out that 90,000 English and Welsh fans gathered in London on Saturday, many drinking all day - and yet there was little or no trouble.

And 200,000 gathered in Portsmouth yesterday and once again not a hint of trouble.

Barry, Hampshire,

So fans of Utd who are not travelling without tickets are banned from thier own city due to fans travelling without tickets from another country. Theres logic for you!

N Bretherton, Chorley, England

So police punish the innocent by banning another screening, and Brown wants to stop people travelling freely within the country - how long till we have internal movement controls and have to prove due cause every time we travel? And no mention of the police violence which was worse than fans'.

Andy, Derby, UK

"but the Rangers’ fans own reputation...may take longer to clean up"

This is the reputation of both Rangers and Celtic fans before and after this event and is unlikely to ever change!

Dean, Southampton, England

The police can make a big issue of this whilst it takes the onus off of all the black knife/gang crime thats going on.
This country is the laughing stock of the world nowadays.

Mike Jones, Farnborough, Hampshire

Have ordinary Scots folk got no shame? They must stand up, discipline the "tartan army" and stop these Glaswegian oiks from sullying the name and reputation of a fine nation.

Nothing will change until all Scots rise up and, in the words of their anthem "send 'em homewards te' think again"

Jon Quirk, Ulan Bator, Mongolia

Why should Manchester's reputation suffer because a few hundred Scots couldn't take their drink. Why are we surprised by their behaviour? Before the game it was the racism of the Zenit fans that was discussed but Rangers fans are the most bigoted of the lot and have caused trouble many times before.
