Fuming Rangers fan ‘threatened to have cops shot' after being caught ‘drink-driving' following Club Brugge clash
The 42-year-old Scot was so disgruntled by the loss that "for no reason, he got into his car and drove" OFFSIDE Fuming Rangers fan 'threatened to have cops shot' after being caught 'drink-driving' following Club Brugge clash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A RAGING Rangers fan allegedly threatened to have cops shot after being busted drink-driving amid fury over his club's Champions League defeat, a court heard. Scott Graham also allegedly side-swiped cars during a dangerous driving spree and chased a man with a hammer after being left 'angry' with his team's 'dismal' performance in Europe this week. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 The alleged incident happened after Rangers suffered a heavy defeat to Club Brugge on Tuesday Credit: Alamy 2 Scott Graham, 42, appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court yesterday Credit: Google Maps The 42-year-old, of Archerhill Gardens in Glasgow but now living with his mother in Manorcunningham, Co Donegal, appeared before Derry Magistrates' Court yesterday. A solicitor told the court how the Scottish man was so disgruntled by Ranger's 3-1 home defeat to Belgian team Club Brugge in the Champions League play-off on Tuesday night that 'for no reason he got into his car and drove'. The defendant was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday morning and charged with dangerous and drink driving, driving a car with both offside tyres burst and possessing a knife with intent to commit grievous bodily harm. Other charges include possessing a hammer, disorderly behaviour, assaulting a van driver by approaching him with a hammer and obstructing a police officer. Graham is alleged to have committed the offences in Tobermore and on the main Glenshane Road in Co Derry. Applying for bail, solicitor Paddy MacDermott told Deputy District Judge John Connolly: 'For his sins, he is a fan of Glasgow Rangers and he was so angry following their dismal performance on Tuesday that for no reason he got into his car and drove. "He accepts his behaviour was totally beyond the pale.' A police officer said the force received reports from three motorists that they'd seen a car being driven along the Glenshane Road swerving from lane to lane, undertaking other cars, stopping diagonally across the road, overtaking and then braking sharply and side swiping several other cars. Objecting to bail, the police witness said the defendant had nineteen previous criminal convictions and was due in court in Co Donegal in October for other serious driving offences. When he was arrested by the police in Main Street, Tobermore, the defendant allegedly told the officers: 'I will get you shot you black bast**ds' and also said 'I will gladly spit in your face'. Drink-drive limit 'set to be slashed' in new road safety plans as drivers brace for 'biggest shake-up to rules in years' The officer said he believed the defendant was 'a danger to all road users'. Applying for bail Mr MacDermott said the defendant's address in Glasgow was no longer available to him but that his mother's address in Manorcunningham was available to him. Bail was refused for fear of the defendant re-offending and he was remanded in custody until September 18. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

SNP lose thousands of members as deficit soars to nearly £500,000
The 2024 accounts, published by the Electoral Commission, also show an outstanding £60,000 loan from former chief executive Peter Murrell may be 'written off'. They also show the £100,000 motorhome seized by Police Scotland during its investigation into the SNP's finances is now worth just £41,284. As of June this year, the party's membership has fallen to 56,011 – down from 64,525 the same time last year and less than half of its peak of around 125,000 in 2019. The party's membership has more than halved since its peak under Nicola Sturgeon's leadership (Andrew Milligan/PA) The SNP remains by far the biggest political party in Scotland in terms of membership. Amid falling membership numbers, the party's deficit surged to £455,254 in 2024, compared with a surplus of £661,568 in 2023. Stuart McDonald, SNP national treasurer, said in the accounts: 'It is important to point out that a deficit of this nature is not unusual during a parliamentary election year – for example 2021, 2017 and 2016 all saw similar or greater deficits incurred.' But he also admitted said that 'challenging' membership numbers and staff redundancies have impacted by the party's finances. The SNP still owes its former chief executive £60,000 following a loan of £107,620 in 2021, of which the party paid £47,620 back that same year. However, it suggested Mr Murrell, who has appeared in court charged with alleged embezzlement, may never be paid back. It states: 'There is no formal loan agreement in place, no interest is charged on the outstanding balance, and no specific repayment terms have been agreed. 'The former chief executive has not formally requested repayment of the outstanding balance. 'Due to the absence of agreed repayment terms and the lack of recent communication regarding settlement, there is uncertainty as to when, or if, this loan will be repaid to the former chief executive, and whether it may ultimately be waived or written off. 'This uncertainty regarding the future outflow of economic benefits from the party represents a significant judgment made by the party in assessing the nature of the liability and is disclosed to ensure the financial statements provide a true and fair view of the financial position.' The motorhome seized by Police Scotland in 2023, which originally cost around £100,000 has also collapsed in value as it remains impounded by officers. The vehicle is now worth just £41,284, the party estimates. The accounts were independently audited by MMG Chartered Accountants which identified no 'material uncertainties'. Conservative MSP Craig Hoy said the SNP has 'serious questions' to answer (Fraser Bremner/Scottish Daily Mail/PA) Scottish Tory MSP Craig Hoy said the report raises 'serious questions' for the SNP. He said: 'With a deficit of nearly half a million it is clear the nationalists cannot be trusted to even run their own finances, never mind the ever-growing blackhole they are presiding over in Scotland's finances.' He said it was 'remarkable' they still owed money to Mr Murrell and also that SNP bosses must 'come clean' in relation to the campervan. 'It is now worth well over less than half of what they initially paid for it though they claim they expect it to be released in the future. 'As even diehard nationalists continue to lose faith in the SNP, it sums up why we must get them out next year and finally move Scotland on from the SNP's independence obsession.' The SNP has been approached for comment.
