A 22-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested and charged following an incident before Rangers played St Johnstone at Hampden.

Police said a 51-year-old woman was assaulted and had a St Johnstone supporters’ drum taken from her outside the stadium in Glasgow, which is currently being used by Rangers while Ibrox undergoes construction work.

The incident took place at around 4.45pm on Saturday, prior to the Scottish League Cup game. Rangers won the tie 2-0.

The man is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

The woman did not require hospital treatment.
