SIX supporters were arrested during Rangers' 1-0 win over Queen of the South yesterday.

Police confirmed six individuals had been held by officers in connection with a range of alleged disorder offences.

It is understood one incident involved a group of fans refusing to remove a banner.

A number of banners were displayed in protest against the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012 throughout the game.

One banner read: Fans not criminals, police lies ruin lives" and another said the SNP and SFA were "killing Scottish football".

Last month we told how police made three arrests as Rangers fans staged a protest against plans to introduce the technology at football matches during of their side's clash with Greenock Morton.

Supporters unveiled banners which read: "Football fans are not criminals."

Scottish football bosses have asked for financial support from the government for the scheme.

The Scottish Professional Football League has vowed to take a firm stance on sectarian singing and the use of banned flares.

Police Scotland chiefs previously denied going over the top in policing a protest at a Scots football ground.

A group of fans held the demonstration calling for the scrapping of a controversial anti-bigotry law designed to stamp out offensive behaviour at matches in October.

Fans Against Criminalisation has raised concerns about the level of policing for their banner demonstration and said it is lodging a complaint saying banners bound for Douglas Park, Hamilton were banned and confiscated.
