FOUR arrests have been made at Ibrox, including one person for assaulting a police officer and another for sectarian abuse, as Rangers beat Celtic on Sunday.
Police chiefs said the events surrounding the Old Firm match at the weekend “passed without major incident,” as first reported by The Glasgow Times.
However, the force confirmed that four people were arrested, with one person alleged to be threatening and abusive while resisting arrest and another arrested for an alleged breach of the peace.
Among the other offences, a police officer was allegedly assaulted, and one man was arrested for alleged sectarian abuse.
Police also issued a warning for a drugs offence, and a youth was reported for a Section 38 offence.
Chief Superintendent Stevie Dolan thanked the majority of fans for their conduct throughout the day.
But added that the behaviour of a small minority is “never acceptable” and “will not be tolerated”.
He said: “A proportionate policing plan was in place for the Rangers v Celtic fixture at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday, 13 September, 2026.
“We worked closely with a range of partners, including both clubs, to maintain public safety and minimise any disruption.
“The match passed without major incident and I would like to thank the majority of fans for their conduct throughout the day.
“A small number of offences were detected during the course of the event. These included one instance of police assault and a separate incident involving sectarian abuse.
“Behaviour such as this is never acceptable and will not be tolerated. In both cases people have been arrested and will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Chief Superintendent Dolan’s comments come after Rangers ran out 3-0 winners against Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup.
Derek McInnes's side were drawn against Aberdeen in the final four, which will be played at Hampden Park on the weekend of October 31/November 1.
