Celtic get 'general behaviour' warning for Rangers clash
Martin O'Neill said police gave Celtic a 15-minute reminder on behaviour after recent crowd trouble and warned against punch-ups and excessive celebrations.
- Police Scotland visited Celtic ahead of Sunday's Premier Sports Cup quarter-final at Ibrox to issue a "general behaviour" warning, with manager Martin O'Neill describing the 15-minute meeting as a "timely reminder."
- The intervention follows disorder during March's Scottish Gas Scottish Cup clash in Govan, where fans spilled onto the pitch; both clubs received £100,000 fines and closed-door match orders.
- O'Neill revealed police instructed players to avoid "punch-ups" and "excessive celebrations" during the match, noting the visit would not have occurred without "recent events" brought to authorities' attention.
- Sunday's match at the 50,000-capacity Ibrox stadium will proceed without away supporters after the clubs failed to agree on ticket allocations; the SPFL determined Celtic receives no tickets.
- Celtic enters the match in strong form, having won the latest three derbies, while O'Neill admitted he is "nervously and excitedly looking forward" to the fixture despite the absence of away fans.
