THE organiser of a Rangers gathering in England is facing a £10,000 fine while officers search CCTV footage for the culprit.
Around 200 fans congregated on Abington Road Park in Corby on Sunday to celebrate the club's first title win in 10 years.
It is believed local fans planned the meet-up on Facebook and that it was an organised event, the Northern Hampshire Telegraph reports.
Three revelers were slapped with fines while most fans dispersed as soon as police arrived.

Meanwhile, Scotland's top cop has hit out at the club, claiming it ignored repeated calls from police to warn fans against gathering despite Covid rules.
Deputy Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said: "The behaviour which we saw at the weekend was disgraceful and I utterly condemn the individuals who chose to completely disregard the coronavirus regulations, putting both the wider community and our officers at risk.
“I also strongly condemn the lack of support from Rangers Football Club over the messages we repeatedly asked them to put out to persuade fans not to go out celebrating and encourage those who did gather in large numbers to return home."
A total of 28 arrests were made in Glasgow with seven fined while officers were subjected to a number of assaults.
