Football supporters have been warned to expect armed police officers at the upcoming Old Firm match.

Police Scotland have confirmed that armed officers will be patrolling the game at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday as Rangers prepare to take on celtic.

Road closures will also be in place along with increased searches as a condition of entry of the stadium.

Supporters attending the match are being asked to ensure they leave plenty of time to get to the stadium before kickoff.

Although there is no intelligence to suggest any specific threat to the game, the policing operation will take into account the UK terror threat level which remains at severe.

Superintendent Stewart Carle, Match Commander, said: “The safety of members of the public travelling to and from the game is Police Scotland’s top priority and a full policing plan will be in place, taking into account the UK terror threat level which remains at severe.

“There will be additional security measures including armed officers on patrol, however please don’t be alarmed by this as there is no intelligence to suggest any specific threat to this football match.

“There will also be road closures in the area and increased searches as a condition of entry to the stadium.

“As a result it may take more time to get through the turnstiles, so please be patient and ensure you arrive in plenty of time for the 12pm kick off.

“We want supporters to enjoy the festivities of the day and would urge everyone to behave in a safe and responsible manner.

“Officers will be policing the bus parks, local pubs and turnstiles - anyone found to be intoxicated will be refused entry and may be arrested.

“People are advised not to attempt to get into the stadium with any prohibited items such as controlled containers, fireworks or other pyrotechnic devices.

“You will be caught and you will be arrested. Officers will also be monitoring behaviour inside the stadium and racist, homophobic, sectarian or any other hateful behaviour will not be tolerated.

“Football matches are there to be enjoyed so please don’t behave in a manner which will ruin the day for you and potentially for others.

“For more information about travel and other advice please visit your football club’s official website

Leave with plenty of time before KO!! Thanks, mostly in part, to Strathclyde's finest we are faced with ever more ridiculous KO times, so I'm sure fans appreciate their efforts and words of wisdom. These clowns would have this game played at 4am on Monday mornings if they had anymore leverage.
