A MAN has been charged with breaching the peace after Rangers investors Sandy and James Easdale were allegedly threatened outside Ibrox Stadium.
The bus tycoons contacted the police claiming they had been abused and threatened by a group of men before Saturday's game against Falkirk at the Glasgow ground.
It is understood the brothers, who own McGill's Buses, were walking to their car with Sandy Easdale's 14-year-old son when they claim they were targeted.
A spokesman for Sandy Easdale said: "The Easdale brothers were shocked in front of Sandy's 14-year-old son and no-one should be confronted like this at a game, especially on a day of remembrance.
"It is not something you would expect at the front door of Ibrox or indeed any football ground."
Police confirmed they were investigating the incident and had submitted a report to the procurator-fiscal.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "A 37-year-old man is the subject of a report to the procurator-fiscal after an alleged breach of the peace at 12.30pm on Saturday."
The man is understood to have been released by the police on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date, while it is believed another man is also being sought in connection with the incident.
Rangers won the Scottish Championship match 4-0.
Officers are already investigating a graffiti attack on the home of 43-year-old James Easdale.
Vandals targeted his property in Greenock, Inverclyde, earlier this month and it is understood the words "Get Out" were scrawled on a wall with spray paint.
It is believed the abusive message was in response to Mr Easdale's involvement with the Ibrox club alongside his brother.
Meanwhile, police also arrested two Celtic fans over disruption during a minute's silence at the club's Scottish Premiership clash against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Police Scotland confirmed the two supporters were arrested for "minor disorder" during the Remembrance Sunday silence.
