A Glasgow MSP has said now is not the time to relax laws covering drinking or offensive behaviour at football following the cup final aftermath.

John Mason, SNP Shettleston MSP, has lodged a motion at the Scottish Parliament stating it would be inappropriate to do so after the scenes of violence at Hampden after Hibs beat Rangers.

The call comes as Labour Glasgow MSP, James Kelly, said he will bring a member’s bill to repeal the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.

Mr Mason’s motion notes there are: “Calls to change the law in relation to football, including repealing the ban on alcohol and relaxing the rules on offensive behaviour.

However he adds: “In light of the recent situation…this would not be an appropriate time to relax the law in either of these areas.”

Labour MSP Neil Findlay however said Mr Mason has got it wrong in linking the cup final events with the Act intended to stamp out sectarian behaviour.

He tweeted: “John Mason conflates what happened after the game on Sat with the Offensive behaviour at football act - dearie me!”
