TWIN sisters who were kicked out of TRNSMT became abusive to cops - with one having to be placed in fast straps.
Sophie and Emma Steele, 19, attended the music festival in Glasgow Green on Saturday, July 10.
But they were asked to leave at 7pm because they were too drunk.
Cops then had reason to speak with Emma, but she became aggressive.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court last week, prosecutor Darren Harty said: “She shouted ‘f**k you’, ‘f*****g c***s’, ‘you’re all a*******s’, ‘I f*****g hate you all’.
“She was placed in the back of a police van. She was cautioned and charged, and she replied ‘f**k you’, ‘f**k off’, and ‘f**k that f*****g b***h’.”
As a result of her sister being placed in the van, Sophie began to shout.
She called officers “f*****g w*****s,” and stated, “all guy police are f*****g d*******s”.
Mr Harty added: “Whilst she was being placed under arrest, she became extremely violent and started to kick her legs in order to resist arrest.
“She kicked a police officer to the left arm, causing soreness and redness.
“Police placed her in fast straps for officers’ safety.
“Her reply to caution and charge was ‘you actually think I’m going to get charged with this’.”
The twins’ defence solicitor told the court that Emma pleaded guilty at the first opportunity.
He added: “The report is relatively positive. She is accepting of her actions and embarrassed. She’s currently on a community payback order and a structured deferred sentence. Both are making positive progress.
“The recommendation is a financial penalty. She has just started a new job.

“Sophie’s situation is largely similar. She works as an admin assistant in an office.”
Sheriff Jonathan Guy told the pair, from Rutherglen: “Your behaviour was very poorly. Having regard to your age and the terms of the reports, I will take on the suggestion to impose a financial penalty.”
Emma was fined £176. Sophie was also fined £176 and ordered to pay £100 compensation to the officer she kicked.
