The Ibrox skipper was targeted as he attempted to take a corner during the second half of the 2-1 defeat at Celtic Park.
Rangers have called on Celtic to work with cops to weed out the missile thugs who targeted Ibrox skipper James Tavernier .
A Rangers spokesperson said: “Not for the first time at Parkhead, a Rangers player was targeted with several missiles, and is extremely lucky not to have left the stadium with a serious injury. Rangers have raised the matter with Celtic, and we expect them to assist Police Scotland with their enquiries, which we understand have begun.”
Saturday’s shameful scenes was the latest in a string of missile incidents that have blighted recent Old Firm meetings. Celtic bosses hit out after last month’s 3-3 draw at Ibrox was marred by a bottle-throwing object following Matt O’Riley’s penalty.
