Footage has emerged showing the violent incident
Shocking video footage has surfaced showing a fan being violently kicked to the ground amid the disgraceful scenes at Ibrox.
Fans from both Rangers and Celtic stormed onto the pitch following the Scottish Cup quarter-final clash, with appalling confrontations resulting in injuries to police officers and stewards.
Multiple people have been arrested and Police Scotland have launched an investigation. Video clips circulating on social media have revealed the extent of the disturbing scenes, including one fan launching a brutal attack by kicking another in the head.
In the footage, a fan wearing a light coloured top charges towards a supporter dressed in black before leaping and extending their leg to strike their target.
The first fan appears to make contact with the second person’s head before they collapse to the ground, reports the Daily Record.
In a strongly-worded statement, Chief Superintendent Kate Stephen condemned the “extreme hostility and violence” which officers encountered after the final whistle at the Old Firm cup match.
Enquiries are currently ongoing and police have confirmed they will collaborate with both clubs and the Scottish Football Association as they identify those responsible.
Following a scoreless 120 minutes, Celtic triumphed 4-2 on penalties to progress to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
