Man admits performing sex act on himself during Rangers title celebrations at Ibrox

A man has admitted exposing and touching his genitals outside Ibrox Stadium at the Rangers title party.

Ryan Gemmell, 47, was recorded on mobile phone footage which went viral on March 7, 2021.

Hundreds of Rangers fans had gathered outside Ibrox that day to celebrate the club’s Scottish Premiership title win.

Gemmell appeared to be near a number of fans in the short clip yards from the front entrance.

Court papers state that Gemmell conducted himself in a disorderly manner in that he exposed himself in the presence of people.

The charge goes on to say he then touched himself and committed breach of the peace.

Gemmell pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the single charge.

Prosecutor Darren Harty said: "There are a schedule of previous convictions."

Andy Lambie, defending, requested background reports from sheriff Tom Hughes.

The lawyer added: "My client is in a much more stable way of life.

"He is making serious attempts to organise his life.

"He has numerous previous convictions and a good number of them led to a lengthy period in custody.

"Since his release, this is the only matter which has arisen.

"He has been on bail and there has been no further offending."

Sentencing was deferred until next month where more information surrounding the circumstances will be heard.

Gemmell, now of the city's Firhill, remains on bail for the matter in the meantime.
