A fan group circulated plans for a march to George Square, though coronavirus restrictions mean mass gatherings are still banned.

Supporters have been warned off the move by and authorities, with statements from the club to come, and Humza Yousaf underlined that message on Wednesday.

The Justice Secretary said: "Understand what an important season it has been for Rangers but I am urging fans not to gather during the trophy presentation on Saturday.

"I have had constructive engagement with RFC, Police & Glasgow City Council - we're all urging fans not to gather, the virus has not gone away.

"I am grateful Rangers have agreed to put out a statement from the Manager & Players reinforcing our 'do not gather' message, as well as speaking to fans' groups urging them to obey Covid regulations.

"There will be a police presence around Ibrox & George Square, as well as other locations.

"There is, ultimately, only so much all of those involved can do.

"Fans will have to take personal responsibility and ensure they do not put their own health, or the health of their community at risk."
