Celtic have voiced concerns with police following Rangers' late and dramatic win at Celtic Park. In the thrilling Glasgow derby, Rangers secured a hard-fought victory, narrowing the gap to Celtic to 13 points under new manager Barry Ferguson. The visitors' decisive goal, scored by Hamza Igamane, sent their fans into a frenzy, but also sparked controversy.

Rangers players, including Vaclav Cerny and Nedim Bajrami, were seen squirting water bottles at Celtic supporters, fuelling tensions behind the dugout. This provocative gesture prompted an irate reaction from the Hoops faithful, ultimately prompting the intervention of police and security personnel.

As a consequence, Czech international Cerny is now under scrutiny as a police investigation unfolds. Meanwhile, Celtic have indicated they will engage in discussions with Police Scotland regarding access issues affecting supporters attempting to enter Parkhead for the high-profile match.

The fan group, the Green Brigade, forcefully condemned the authorities, claiming that a group of 90 fans were unjustly denied entry after refusing to comply with searches. The authorities had announced on Sunday that these supporters were turned away.

A statement by Celtic addressed the complaints they received, citing grievances over the policing strategy around the match. The statement added that a review would take place to consider supporters' concerns.

"Celtic Football Club has received complaints regarding the policing operation concerning yesterday's match, specifically events away from Celtic Park," their statement read.

"We are reviewing our supporters' concerns and will be looking into these issues.

"It is important that these matters are addressed and the club will be engaging in discussions with supporters and Police Scotland to understand the circumstances and events.

"With regards to the match at Celtic Park, we can also confirm that the club has raised concerns regarding members of the away team engaging with Celtic supporters with the relevant authorities."
