He was one of eight people detained by police in connection with alleged offences in and around the stadium.

A Rangers spokesman said: "Rangers does not condone any form of unacceptable behaviour and the matter is now in the hands of Police Scotland."

Asked about the incident of a man allegedly running on to the pitch, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers said: "I haven't seen it again, there was so much more happening in the game.

"It's not nice when something like that happens, but I only caught the tail end of it, really."
