Police were seen surrounding a football supporters bus during an incident after Rangers’ match against Aberdeen on Wednesday night.

A heated exchange could be seen taking place between police and fans on the bus, following the Dons 2-1 win. Footage on social media showed the scenes as tensions appeared to boiled over.

Several officers can be seen surrounding the bus, with police sirens heard in the background. As the camera zooms in, supporters can be seen rushing to the front. In the video, it appears that the officers try to keep the supporters on the bus as the door is slammed shut.

In another video, the bus is then seen leaving the stadium area.
