A Rangers fan has shown the horrific head wounds he suffered after being 'battered for nothing' by Danish cops as violence flared at last night's Brondby clash.
The 57-year-old, from the Baillieston area of Glasgow, was caught up in the ugly scenes, which saws fans clash with riot police outside the stadium ahead of the Europe League clash in Copenhagen.
After asking officers a question about where to go, the 'totally sober' man was allegedly clobbered with a truncheon.
A horrific picture shared with the Record shows his heavily bandaged and bloodied head, which had to be patched up by first aiders inside the stadium.
The man, who didn't want to be named, is a construction engineer and says he will have to wear a hard hat at work to hide his wounds.
He said: "The police just saw red and lost control.
"I was perfectly sober and just asked police a question about where to go as I wasn't sure.
"I was just asking a question and got battered, I'm a senior construction engineer.
"I'm here with my son and don't know what I'm going to say to my wife tomorrow.
"And l'll need to to wear a hat to work... because no one would believe you go to Denmark and get battered by police for nothing."
Light Blues fans were quick to condemn Copenhagen police online, with many blasting their 'heavy handed approach'.
Cops made four arrests and have pointed the finger at fans for causing the rammy, with many allegedly turning up without proper tickets.
Shocking video footage that emerged last night shows Danish officers, clad in helmets, gloves and body armour, hitting supporters with batons.
A Rangers fan appears to aim a punch at an officer, sparking a brawl. A supporter then falls to the ground and is hit with truncheons while on his knees.
Other Gers fans told the Record that it was the worst violence they had seen following their team.
Alan Harris, 71, said: "The Danish police seem to look for any opportunity to draw batons, it was totally unnecessary.
"I've seen bad organisation in Villarreal, Bucharest and Vienna but this was honestly the worst I've seen and as I said this is my 45th away European in 39 cities in 29 countries.
"I was not struck by a baton but when you're 71 it's quite terrifying to have riot police right in your face and coming at you with batons drawn.
"Police baton charged us twice for absolutely no reason. Fans were just trying to show they had valid tickets.
"This is my 45th away European trip and this is the worst I've ever seen.
"You'd think this is a civilised country but even the local police are disgusted with their colleagues."
A disabled fan, an amputee with one leg, also told the Record how he had 'never been so scared in his life' as cops were 'leathering everyone'.
He said: "They've been battering us with truncheons, batons and everything.
"Kids, old men - it doesn't matter who it is to them, everyone is getting leathered.
"I've never been so scared in all my life."
There were also clashes inside the stadium between Brondby and Rangers supporters, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
A spokesman for West Copenhagen Police said: "In connection with the match, there have been a few episodes between football fans and the police.
"Before the match, a group of Rangers fans tried to enter Brondby Stadion, even though they had not regulated a ticket.
"It caused less commotion at the entrance to the away section of the stadium and the police had to pull and use poles.
"After the match, there were a few episodes where rioters tried to get over to the opponent's fans, which was prevented by the police.
"A total of four people were arrested in connection with the fight.
"They are charged with ordinary violence or violence against the police.
"As several of them are non-EU citizens, the prosecution is now assessing whether there should be a production in constitutional interrogation."
Rangers have not commented on the scenes.
