A metal object was thrown at Greg Taylor and a member of the Celtic physio team during Monday’s Glasgow Derby game at Ibrox. Celtic fans located in the corner of the Broomloan Stand and Govan Stand were subject to missiles being thrown into them – including bottles.
A Celtic source has confirmed to The Celtic Star that Taylor, who received treatment earlier in the first half, had a metal object – said to be like a bottle opener – thrown towards him as he was down. This is not the first time that a Celtic player or official has come under attack from Rangers supporters. Back in April, another Celtic member of staff was hit by a glass bottle while going down the tunnel and a bottle was thrown into Joe Hart’s six-yard box.
Not only this, but a Celtic fan required to receive treatment after a bottle struck them to the head. The incident occurred as the visitors celebrated Kyogo’s late equaliser. This is just one example of the objects that were thrown into the Celtic end from the Broomloan Stand and the Govan Rear and Govan Front. Lighters, coins, pies and drink containers were thrown at the 700 supporters. Club officials were present and fed back the information to Rangers. The Ibrox club will be informed of the above in an effort to help identify the individual responsible.

Supporters from Dundee United, Hibs and Aberdeen have already described similar behaviour from the home end at Ibrox, all of which constitute a major safety hazard. For a supporter that has been in the new allocation on two occasions, the description of events during Monday’s game is identical to what happened back in April.
In the game, Celtic left Ibrox with a point despite not being at their best. Daizen Maeda opened the scoring for Celtic with an excellent finish. The Japanese Internationalist capitalised on a loose pass from Alfredo Morelos, allowing Maeda to push through, beat James Tavernier and fire the ball beyond Allan McGregor.
Rangers started well in the second half, buoyed on by Celtic’s forced substitution of Taylor. Ryan Kent scored with a tidy finish but Josip Juranovic should’ve done better against Fashion Sakala. Rangers went ahead after Carl Starfelt was adjudged to have fouled Sakala. James Tavernier made no mistake from the spot.
Kyogo grabbed a crucial equaliser for Celtic with a composed finish in the dying stages of the game at Ibrox. Aaron Mooy was picked out by Jota, who worked together to get the ball to Giakoumakis, who had his shot blocked only for the Japanese striker to strike the ball high into the net.
The events in the stands need to be addressed and those responsible must be punished. The SFA and Police may be required to intervene to make sure that supporters are safe to attend matches at Ibrox in future.
Time for Celtic to say keep your tickets until they agree to the old allocation of the broomloan end, and they should be asking the police why they allow this to happen against opposition fans.
What about the last that was struck with a bottle visiting the city as a liverpool supporter,calls quite over there,why didn’t UEFA look at it,ir r they not allowed in either cmon stopnthe cover ups authorities
Lubo , there is NO “ rangers “ they died … gone , demised .
Never a truer wonder spoken they corrupt cheating scumbags more missiles thrown today wot will it take for action to be taken fan to die because its matter of time happens every game played there with corrupt bais refereeing nd var thrown in seems to me all sfa doing best can make sure celtic don’t win league as for ref shud never again be allowed to referee celtic newco game again refs shud face actions on their performances same footballers do in fact financial penalty and bans shud be the norm for them its blatantly obv the bais cheating going on and once more be swept under carpet anybody injured with missiles shud put cla into them for injuries before sumbody seriously hurt that on ibrokes n sfa 2 corrupt organisations act now
I’m in agreement with first message…don’t take the small allocation anymore and keep them out of Celtic Park….they need to bend and bring back original allocation and stop pandering to the fans commonly known as “ Scotlands Shame”
Our board are cowards, and not a mention of it on the news tonight.
What more is there to say about this poor excuse for a football club
Absolute disgrace, should be held to account for their actions. I won’t be holding my breath. HH.
What will happen about these attacks yesterday and take everything to do with these matters yesterday will corrupt police Scotland and corrupt sfa do anything about it answer no , they will come out with false story about cctv not working.
I would go back to Ibrox because they get away with every thing I would also ban rangers fans from parkhead because there ticket allocation of 700 tickets is not the way it should I would ban them for our game at parkhead IV supported Celtic since I was six years old I’m now sixty one years old and IV never saw anything like I saw at Ibrox it is getting out of hand ban them from our ground
Why are Celtic Football Club accepting 700 Tickets for Rangers home games?? Refuse this allocation deny Rangers supporters access to Celtic Park
Reduced animosity
Reduced crowd disorder
Allow more Celtic supporters access to Parkhead for Rangers fixture
Safeguard supporters safety
