“Chaos at Celtic-Rangers Clash: Police Intervene as Celtic Dugout Bombarded with ‘Objects’ Amid Controversy”

April 7, 2024

The recent Old Firm clash between Celtic and Rangers at Ibrox took a tumultuous turn when the Celtic dugout was targeted by unidentified objects. Sunday’s intense derby match was filled with VAR decisions and penalties, adding to the already high stakes of the rivalry.

The match saw Daizen Maeda scoring for Celtic before Matt O’Riley leveled the playing field with a penalty, awarded for a handball by Connor Goldson. Rangers responded strongly in the second half, with James Tavernier converting a penalty following a controversial VAR decision on Alistair Johnston’s challenge on Fabio Silva. The momentum shifted in Rangers’ favor as Cyriel Dessers netted another goal, sending Ibrox into a frenzy.

However, an earlier foul on Celtic’s Tomoki Iwata during the build-up to the goal led to a VAR review, ultimately ruling it out for an infringement. Amidst the on-field drama, the broadcast captured a concerning moment as objects were thrown towards the Celtic dugout, drawing attention to the unsavory side of this historic fixture.

Sky Sports commentator Ian Crocker voiced his disapproval, highlighting the unacceptable behavior, stating, “Sadly there are objects being thrown into the Celtic dugout. That is a side of this fixture that we never want to see.”

The win propelled Rangers to the top of the league standings with a two-point lead and a game in hand, while Celtic would have a four-point advantage if they emerged victorious.
