Sturgeon warned the gatherings may slow the lifting of coronavirus restrictions
She said: "I congratulate @RangersFC on the title win & recognise what a moment this is for fans. But gathering in crowds just now risks lives, and could delay exit from lockdown for everyone else.
"If those gathering care at all about the safety of others & the country, they will go home."
It follows similar warnings from both Police Scotland and Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf.
