Union Bears sneak drum into Man Utd vs Rangers clash

The Union Bears insist their passion 'beats restrictions' after they successfully managed to sneak their drum into Old Trafford last night.

Rangers narrowly lost to Manchester United as Philippe Clement's men just came up short in the Europa League encounter.

Over 3,700 fans were inside the Theatre of Dreams to watch as this season's second Battle of Britain installment took place.

A Jack Butland own-goal had the hosts in front before a late Bruno Fernandes strike in added time cancelled out Cyriel Dessers' excellent touch and finish a couple of minutes before.

Rangers fans partied in Manchester city centre before the match, as local police marched them in their thousands to Old Trafford for early access to the stadium.

And the Union Bears have tonight shown how they went about getting their drum into the ground when it wasn't permitted.

Posting a series of snaps on social media site X, the group showed their disassembled drum, broken up into several components. 

It also showed several members of the group posing for a pic inside Old Trafford, sometime before kick-off, holding up the blue, red and white walls of the instrument. 

The final photo showed the end result - a constructed drum.

They accompanied their photos with the caption: "Our passion beats your restrictions. Can’t stop ultras!"

Rangers have one more Europa League game left before the knockout stage. 

They welcome Union SG to Ibrox next Thursday night.
