An email seen by the ECHO from Merseyside Police to Liverpool Nightlife CIC addressed concerns from Irish bars in the city centre ahead of the match.

The email response to the CIC stated Police Scotland said they did not consider there to be any risk towards Irish bars from the Rangers fans. The response added there will be "additional resources in the city the night before the game" and "a large number of officers on duty" on the day.
