Two Rangers fans have been charged with assaulting two police officers during violent clashes at the 2008 UEFA Cup final in Manchester. About 150,000 Rangers fans traveled to Manchester for the match between the Glasgow club and Zenit St. Petersburg on May 14, 2008.
Violence erupted when a big screen in the largest fan zone failed to show the game. Groups of supporters clashed with police in a five-hour battle, with officers suffering dislocated shoulders, broken fingers and bruising. The two Rangers fans were charged Tuesday after their alleged attacks were captured on CCTV.
