Police Separate Celtic and Rangers Fans After Scottish Cup Pitch Invasion
Hundreds of fans invaded the pitch at Ibrox after Celtic won on penalties, prompting clashes, flares, and multiple arrests, police said.
- The Scottish Football Association opened an immediate investigation after Celtic FC won the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup quarter-final on penalties at Ibrox Stadium with Tomas Cvancara's decisive spot-kick.
- The Broomloan End celebration triggered a counter-invasion from the Rangers supporters, prompting police intervention as Celtic supporters spilled onto the pitch.
- During live coverage, Premier Sports commentator Rory Hamilton said one of the Celtic coaching staff has been attacked, an injured steward was carried from the pitch, and players from both teams were escorted off by officers.
- Condemning the behaviour, the Scottish Football Association said disciplinary action could follow as the probe may lead to heavy sanctions for both clubs and affect future match arrangements.
- The Broomloan End being filled with away supporters for the first time in eight years added to the occasion, and observers said the disorder threatened to echo the 1980 Scottish Cup Final shame game and marred an otherwise strong contest.
