A BAR packed with football fans went up in flames during last night's World Cup qualifier match between England and Scotland.

Scotland fan Jordan Cooper, who was in the nearby Ibrox pub, told the : "I don't know if the fire was deliberate but Scotland fans were singing and celebrating in front of the pub when we scored to make it 2-1.
"Then England scored the last goal and they started setting off flares."
Jordan, from Kilmarnock, said bars surrounding the pub had to be evacuated.
He said: "Everyone was getting evacuated from all pubs around because the flares had caught fire to the front of Albatross Bar leading it to cause a massive amount of smoke then massive flames.
"The bar was full of English fans."
