Police in Scotland are preparing for potential trouble from fans of Celtic and Rangers ahead of their Scottish Premiership match at Ibrox. Following a violent clash between supporters in Glasgow city centre last month during the League Cup Final, police are urging fans to behave responsibly.
Police have warned Celtic and Rangers hooligans they are braced for trouble ahead of this afternoon's Scottish Premiership clash at Ibrox. Fans of the rivals clashed in Glasgow city centre last month, ahead of their sides' League Cup Final meeting at the city's Hampden Park. In ugly scenes caught on camera, supporters sporting Santa hats brawled on busy streets in front of shocked members of the public on Christmas shopping trips.
The trouble was so bad that St Margaret of Scotland Hospice had to cancel a fundraising drive after the charity's bus stationed on Argyle Street came under fire from warring thugs. Yesterday, Police Scotland released images of 19 people wanted in connection with the Cup Final chaos. And today the force warned that officers are primed should there be any repeat of last month's trouble before or after today's match, which takes place with Brendan Rodgers' side sitting 14 points clear of Philippe Clement's men in the Scottish Premiership
