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

Arran Watt, 22, is charged following the alleged offence outside Glasgow‘s Hampden Park on August 17.

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

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

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 co-operate 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.
