Shocking video shows Rangers fans dragging fellow club supporter by hair and punching in face

A SHOCKING video shows Rangers fans dragging a fellow club supporter by the hair and punching her repeatedly in the middle of a busy road.

A shocked motorist was forced to stop in the middle of the road after the brawl spilled onto a street in Glasgow’s city centre last night.

He captured horrific footage showing the group of men and women gathering around a female Rangers fans just moments after the team lost to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The woman on the ground, wearing a blue Rangers top, is shown being kicked from various people in the group – many of who are also wearing the club’s colours.

At this point the brunette victim on the ground kicks back at her attackers as the fight continues.

Another woman, wearing a Rangers top with a union jack attached to her clothes, then grabs the woman by the hair and begins hammering down punches to her face.

A private taxi driver cruises past the incident and shouts, “Watch your f*****g back”, after getting dangerously close to the football fans.

The video then ends shortly after the fight is interrupted by a couple who stand in between the group.

The motorist who captured the footage, but wishes to remain anonymous, posted the clip onto Twitter last night, writing: “Glasgow city centre just now.”
