Fans clash on Ibrox pitch as Celtic beat Rangers

Rangers and Celtic fans invaded the Ibrox pitch after Celtic knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup on penalties.

The Old Firm rivals met for the second time in a week after last weekend’s thrilling Scottish Premiership draw, with Celtic booking their place in the cup semi-final with a 4-2 shoot-out victory.

James Tavernier and Djeidi Gassama missed from the spot for Rangers, following a goalless draw between the Glasgow giants. A forgettable game had few flashpoints, with Celtic failing to register a single shot on target until the penalty shootout.

There were ugly scenes at full-time, as a pitch invasion form some Celtic supporters sparked a rival invasion from the home support. Police and stewards worked to create a barrier between the two sets of supports, though objects were hurled.

The fixture had seen a huge increase in away supporters in comparison to recent derbies. Scottish Cup ties entitle away clubs to 20% of the stadium capacity, with around 7,500 Celtic fans granted access to Ibrox after talks with both clubs, the SFA and police authorities.
