The Scotsman leads with the first minister's criticism of Rangers fans following crowd trouble in Glasgow at the weekend.
The paper says Nicola Sturgeon labelled the fans as a"thuggish minority" and "selfish beyond belief". The Daily Record says fans fought each other and police were attacked during the "rampage" which left a "trail of destruction" in the city as Rangers celebrated their first Premiership title win in a decade.

Of course, we may find out that there is some important reason why the two men in the van should be deported from Britain. Alternatively, the events in Kenmure Street may have been a badly judged powerplay by a geographically remote government in London — a government remote from empathy too. Yes, people should respect the law. I am cheered that in the place of my birth there are priorities beyond politics, beyond race, beyond religion — the common humanity of people standing up for their neighbours.
