Police separate Celtic and Rangers fans after Ibrox pitch invasion

ShareSaveShareSaveReutersPolice and stewards formed a barricade between the two groups of fans who had invaded the pitchCeltic and Rangers fans have clashed during a pitch invasion following an Old Firm match at Ibrox.

Fans of the Parkhead side initially spilled onto the pitch in celebration after a 4-2 win on penalties.

But scenes turned ugly as Rangers fans joined the fracas, with flares thrown and police and stewards forming a barricade between the two sides.

The disorder quickly settled down with fans returning to the stands.

It was the first time Celtic supporters have been given the full Broomloan Stand allocation at Ibrox since it was reduced to fewer than 1,000 in 2018.

Traditionally, around 7,500 Celtic fans filled the stand for Old Firm derbies.

Since then, away allocations at both Ibrox and Celtic Park have fluctuated between about 750 and zero in a series of tit-for-tat moves.
