More pyrotechnics were taken into the recent Old Firm clash at Hampden than any previous match in Scottish history, it has been claimed.
The Viaplay Cup Final between Rangers and Celtic on February 26 resulted in so many flares and rockets being set off in the stadium that a specialist pyro company had to be called in to safely remove the debris.
Scottish football authorities have been accused of turning a blind eye to an impending pyro crisis. Fears have been raised that fans could "suffer catastrophic phosphorous burns or worse" if nothing is done to stop the use of fireworks and flares in stadiums, reports the Daily Record.
