Anti-immigration activists from England are due to travel to Glasgow for a protest later this month, amid fears of more street violence this summer.

Unite the Clans Scotland (UTC), a group branded far right by critics, is organising a “peaceful” anti-immigration protest in Glasgow on 25 July.

Various “patriot” groups are due to attend the rally including Britain First, a racist and Islamophobic political party with a history of invading mosques.

According to UTC, activists from England will travel north for the Glasgow Green protest which is due to take place two days after the Commonwealth Games start.

UTC – which rejects claims it is far right – posted on Facebook: “We at UTC, alongside groups from Perth, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk, and many more across Scotland, as well as at least three groups from England, will be standing together at Glasgow Green on 25 July at 12 noon.”

Tensions are high in Glasgow following a series of protests over alleged sex crimes by migrants. Angry crowds gathered in Cranhill on Tuesday and dozens of residents gathered in Castlemilk on Wednesday evening. Last week, similar disorder took place in Royston, Glasgow, in response to an alleged sexual assault.

Anti-racism groups have expressed concerns that “extremists from elsewhere could seek to inflame tensions”. They accused far right actors of using “horrific attacks on women to infiltrate local communities to build their far right street movement”.

Police Scotland said misinformation was being spread online by bad actors, often from outside Glasgow. Five police officers were injured during the protests.

Far right groups have previously been accused of exploiting people’s concerns over asylum seekers to promote white supremacy, racism and anti-Muslim views. One far right activist who travelled from England to Glasgow this week for a protest was arrested for an alleged hate crime after shouting “f**nian c***s”.
