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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The songbook for the last two games has been excellent. Was hoping to hear it at a full house Ibrox. Was always doubtful folk would sing "those songs" at Ibrox anyway, but I was hoping to hear them. Guess this will nip that in the bud then.

centenarystand 2,227 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Police message to celtic players and officials. Feel free to abuse the home crowd in any way at all , feel free to incite a riot , if one starts it's their fucking fault. Remember most of all, in Scotland there is no equality, do whatever you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
