Scots cops on alert for most feared hooligans in Europe when Rangers host Red Star Belgrade

Cops are on red alert for the most feared football hooligans in Europe when Rangers host Red Star Belgrade next month.

The authorities here have less than a fortnight to prepare for the Serb Ultras, notorious for launching fireworks in stadiums, rampant racism and full-on fighting.

Police chiefs last night said they will be approaching cops in Serbia for information on those who may try to cause disorder in Glasgow.

They added: "Our planning is under way.

"We’re aware of the significance of the match and a proportionate policing plan will be put in place."

Before the match on March 10, Red Star take on city rivals Partizan tomorrow night – a fixture in which 50 people were injured after thugs hurled stones last November.
