'No major outbreaks' as a result of Rangers celebrations in Glasgow

There have been no major outbreaks as a result of the mass gatherings following Rangers’ league win earlier this month, Jason Leitch has said.

The National Clinical Director for Scotland told MSPs at the Scottish Parliament’s Covid-19 committee said that the event, which saw thousands of people take to the streets of Glasgow after Rangers won the Scottish Premier League, had not caused a major spike in cases.

He said: "We have no specific intelligence that mass gatherings from last weekend for example – the weekend before now - have led specifically to outbreaks in Lanarkshire. We do have a few Test and Protect cases who were at mass gatherings as we’ve said this week.
