The team bus arrived with a smashed window

It was reported that a side window on the bus was smashed as it arrived at Villarreal's Madrigal Stadium.

However, police said they were happy with the behaviour of Rangers fans.

Superintendent Tim Love, who was in Spain for Strathclyde Police, was keen to play down the incident and said local police had "no issues with it".

"They are unable to even say if it was reported as an incident to them", he said.

'Ugly scenes'

Graeme Hunter of the Daily Mail told BBC Scotland of "two ugly incidents".

"The Villarreal team bus was arriving here through the very small narrow streets of their town to the Madrigal and a number of objects, including a bottle were thrown at the team bus," he said.

"One of the windows of the Villarreal team bus shattered.

"The bus carried on its journey towards the stadium, arriving outside the principal door of the main stand.

"At that point, I'd say there were 40 or 50 Rangers fans, rocking the bus, bashing on the bus, shouting and throwing plastic cups of beer, which made for very ugly scenes indeed."
