Scotland: Man dies after Rangers fans coach crash

A man has died following a coach crash in Scotland this afternoon.

Police said a total of 18 people were taken to hospital following the crash in Ayrshire, which happened at around 1.15pm on Saturday.

One passenger said the coach "swerved" at the roundabout and the bus landed on its side on a grass verge.

A total of 36 people, plus the driver, were on board at the time.

According to reports, the coach was travelling to Ibrox Stadium, where Rangers were due to play Partick Thistle.

Earlier, police said three people being treated in hospital were in a serious condition.

The crash happened on the A76 at the Crossroads roundabout near to Bowhouse Prison.

John Linton, a photographer who was at the scene, said it appeared the coach had either skidded into the verge or caught the camber of the roundabout and been left on its side.

He said: "They have screened it off, so that would suggest there was something pretty bad down there. There's a screen at the rear end of the coach.

"There were smashed windows and an emergency door at the back was broken."
