A CULT computer game has been "hacked" to recreate scenes of Old Firm-related violence.

Police last night pledged to investigate the online Gangs of Glasgow game, which features hordes of hooligans in Rangers and Celtic tops running amok with iron bars, boulders, bottles and knives.

A spokeswoman for the Strathclyde force said: "Links to the game have been passed to the relevant department for officers to examine.

"If any criminality is established, appropriate action will be taken."

Players modified the popular PC game Mount and Blade to include bloody scenes from the infamous 1980 Old Firm riot at Hampden Park.

Rangers and Celtic both condemned the game last night.

And Scottish Police Federation boss Les Gray said: "I am delighted that the Sunday Mail has highlighted this so action can be taken."
