Hospital staff were put on standby to deal with a major incident as Rangers fans rampaged through the streets of Glasgow on Saturday.
One junior doctor at the city’s Royal Infirmary described the Accident and Emergency department as “chaos” and said she was left “terrified” at the number of injured people coming through the doors.
In an online Twitter post, she wrote: “Theatres were cleared to take stabbings and missing fingers.
"A&E was chaos.
"Call it for what it was – a riot – with significant consequences not just for the people there but people (and patients) from across Glasgow.
“Our city is not their playground and these were not just your average ‘celebrations’.
“Never even seen anything like this before.
"I was terrified.”
A spokesperson for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: “Our Emergency Departments were on standby and our teams responded efficiently to all emergency attendances.”
