Seven Rangers fans arrested after Liverpool Champions League match

Seven Rangers supporters were arrested in Liverpool after yesterday's Champions League fixture at Anfield.

Merseyside Police confirmed that the Gers fans, who had travelled to England for the first competitive clash between the two sides, were cuffed for alleged affray and drunk and disorderly offences.

Those arrested by cops following the bout remain in custody in Liverpool this morning, reports the Daily Record.

Superintendent Dawn McNally, of Merseyside Police, previously said there would be "a large number of officers on duty" on the day of the game to cope with any potential policing issues.

A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said on Wednesday morning: "There were seven Rangers fans arrested mainly for alleged affray and being drunk and disorderly. All are still in custody."

The Glasgow side succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of a dominant Liverpool.

A stunning free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring after eight minutes. Talisman Mo Salah doubled the Reds' lead by firing a penalty straight down the middle early in the second half.
