# Rangers: Fans slam Nicola Sturgeon comments

**Some Glasgow Rangers fans were far from happy with Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon following her reaction to the Gers confirming their status as Premiership champions.**

Sunday was a huge day in the history of Rangers. After a 10-year wait, they finally picked up their [55th league title](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/12237845/rangers-confirmed-as-scottish-premiership-champions-after-celtic-draw-with-dundee-united) as Celtic could only draw 0-0 with Dundee United. Unsurprisingly, loads of Gers supporters flooded on to the streets of Glasgow to celebrate the triumph even though lockdown regulations indicated they shouldn’t have.

Sturgeon did congratulate the Gers on their victory, but it didn’t take her long to brandish some fans as “[disgraceful](https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/1368644659849859078?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1368644659849859078%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thescottishsun.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2F6787102%2Fsturgeon-rangers-fans-home-lockdown%2F)” and order the club themselves to tell fans to go home – even though they didn’t encourage supporters to take to the streets in the first place. The comments, which were shared by [The Scottish Sun’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/scotsunsport/status/1368654582830800897), attracted plenty of anger from the club’s supporters.
