A Glasgow bar has claimed they were the victim of an attempted 'far-right attack' this weekend. 

McChuills, based on High Street in the city centre, took to social media to claim that a group of up to 40 'right-wing ultras' attempted to 'attack' the bar, but 'failed.'

In a statement on Instagram, owners said: "Earlier today a group of up to 40 right-wing ultras attempted to attack McChuills. They failed.

"As ever, McChuills stands against fascists and racism in all its forms. This is a place where everyone is welcome, no matter who they support, who they love, who they worship or how they vote. With one exception, which we made very clear this afternoon.

"Nobody was hurt and we continue as normal. All events in the bar and venue tonight are now free entry. Come on down, have a good night and stand in solidarity with all of us here."

It comes after two rival protests took place in George Square yesterday. 

A gathering, billed as a "Pro-UK Rally" on social media, was organised to take place near the Cenotaph on Saturday afternoon while a counter-protest was organised by Stand Up To Racism. 

The "Pro-UK Rally" was organised in the wake of riots in several towns and cities in England in July and August which saw supermarkets and libraries torched and shops looted and was publicised by far-right figures including Tommy Robinson. 

The disorder followed the tragic deaths of Bebe King (six), Elsie Dot Stancombe (seven) and Alice Dasilva Aguiar (nine) who were killed on Monday, July 29 in Southport while attending a Taylor Swift themed dance class. 

We previously reported that two people were arrested following the action. 

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A proportionate policing plan was in place for a planned protest in George Square, Glasgow.

“A 40-year-old man was arrested for a hate crime and a 20-year-old man was arrested for carrying an offensive weapon. Inquiries remain ongoing.

"Officers contained a small group of people to engage with them, maintain public safety and minimise disruption.

“Containment is an approved tactic used by highly trained officers where a breach of the peace is taking place or is reasonably thought to be imminent.”
