Attacking the police - indefensible.

The local authority applied to host the event and should have been prepared for it with contingency plans in place for technical problems.

The authorities decision maker got it all wrong.

David Murray and Martin Bain should be demanding answers!

Simon Miller, Coylton, Scotland

As a Scot, I´m ashamed of them. They shouldn´t be allowed to enter European competitions if this is the way they behave. I only hope people do not let this tar their impression of Scotland. Celtic went to Seville a few years ago and even though they lost there were no problems.

lauren, stirling, scotland

So sick of hearing from bigots in work cursing the gers and so enjoying this trouble....who cares about Seville, millions of people dying in the world, we should be thinking about that.

jon, glasgow,

I was refused a drink in a Manchester pub a year or 2 ago on my way to a CRICKET test match at OLD T because i was wearing a t-shirt with a small England RUGBY rose on it.

Reason - no 'colours' to be worn in city centre pubs. But then again, I was only intending to spend a few quid.

jim, burnley,

I was down for the final and i enjoyed the occasion but then i wasnt in the Piccadilly Gardens fan zone. The first sign of trouble for me was down at Chorlton bus st when a few thugs in Man City tops caused friction with the Zenit fans and they wanted the Rangers support to join in on the action.

Stuart, Aberdeen, Scotland

The faulty screen didn't help, but that was mob mentality, watching them chasing 7 officers down a street and assaulting one of them ferociously. The rangers men in charge have long known they have an unsavoury element, I hope they can change this. Fans of other Scottish clubs were also disgusted

Paul, London,

This was a national grace for Scotland. How anyone after seeing the television pictures of the "pack of wild wolves" can come out and blame the police is shocking. A night of humiliation for Rangers, Glasgow and Scotland.

John Burns, Glasgow,

It's clear that everyone had a great time for 36 hours before the match there was a party atmosphere and great friendliness with locals and police, who were great!
But the final numbers - 200,000 were well beyond the capacity of a city centre event and when the screen went control was lost quickly.

Andrew, Inkberrow, UK

i was at piccadilly and and lets be honest if rangers have a lot to answer for what about the police? they were to heavy handed and were smirking as they lashed out at innocent supporters.the violence should never of happened no excuses but it was a tiny minority 42 arrests for over 200,000.not bad

adam , dundee, scotland

just explain 1 thing why are celtic supporters getting involved? this is nothing to do with them or seville. they had 80 arrests made in the away CL match at barcelona more than double the rangers support through out the tournament no one should comment unless they witnessed it first hand.

adam , dundee, scotland

it was disgraceful, but manchester was not ready for the rangers fans, they should have made sure the screen was working and if thy could not get it working they should have let the fans know a few hours before the game so thy could go else where, the manchester police was a disgrace too thy were be

sammy, glasgow,

This is an abosolute disgrace! I sincerely hope that both Glasgow city council and UEFA pay for the damage these thugs have made! Why were these "fans" allowed to drink in the street, us Mancunians can't - theres actually a law against it! As for the screen, it happens, no reason to start a riot!

Michael, Stockport, Manchester, United Kingdom

I don't see how Wednesday nights' night of violence and riots will hinder England's bid for the world cup which I sincerely hope they win, its more likely to put potential visitors to Glasgow off from going there.

B Wilson, Edinburgh,

I was at Piccadilly and think it was ridiculous that the big screen wasn't working. They had all day to make sure the link was working and then tell fans to go elsewhere to watch it. Manchester SHOULDN'T have applied for the final if they weren't prepared for something so big.

Craig Campbell, Greenock, Scotland

The behavior from Rangers fans was an absolute disgrace and the club should be banned from further European football for the next couple of years. They abused the hospitality afforded to them from the city of Manchester. Can you imagine the furore if it was an English club on the streets of Glasgow?

Adam Lovatt, Stoke-on-Trent, England

All Scottish fans should not be tarred with the same brush. Celtic took 80,000+ fans to Seville for the UEFA cup final, there were no arrests and the fans received awards from FIFA and UEFA for their behaviour.

Alex, Glasgow,

The usual response from a fottball club's spokesman when incidences like this occur, "The difficulty is of course that many of these people will have no association with Rangers". As a Scot these animals shame and embarrass me.

Martin Drum, Galashiels,

why were glass bottles and cans allowed into the fan zones.in scotland at any event it must be plastic bottles and plastic glasses.i was at piccadilly gardens sober as was driving and no announcement was made about the screen not working or buses to other areas.just riot police bullying people

john, east kilbride, scotland

Sorry Manchester, no excuses it was disgraceful. It has dragged the name of the club I love down to a new level. Please believe me when I say these people are not fans of Rangers but fans of alcohol and trouble. The loyal Rangers fans can't stop these animals from travelling.

Jim Ferguson, Glasgow, Scotland
