A teenager has admitted robbing and assaulting a woman before a Rangers cup tie against St Johnstone.

The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, grabbed a drum from Beverley Mayer outside Hampden Park on 17 August 2024.

He caused Ms Mayer, who was a fan liaison officer for St Johnstone, to fall and strike her head on the ground.

The incident sparked crowd disorder before the Premier Sports Cup match, with Rangers fans’ group the Union Bears clashing with police.

Rangers supporter Aaron Watt, 22, was previously banned from football matches for two years for his part in the incident.

In the latest case, the 17-year-old from Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, also pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

Sentence was deferred at Glasgow Sheriff Court until next month for background reports to be prepared.
