This is the moment Rangers manager Derek McInnes stepped in to pull Djeidi Gassama out of the Celtic Park crowd.

The Ibrox boss ushered his winger away from supporters in the stands after he was shoved, having tripped and landed on advertising boards in front of home fans.

Gassama had been competing for a ball with Colby Donovan when his momentum carried him off the pitch as he stumbled, landing on the boards in front of the stand.

The winger was pushed off the boards before turning to face the supporters by the side of the pitch.

Quickly, McInnes was straight over to intervene and guide Gassama away from any confrontation and back onto the pitch.

The full moment was picked up in Rangers' Away Days coverage of the match on YouTube.
