Celtic fans have been told not to wear hard hats to tomorrow's Old Firm clash at Ibrox.

Celtic's supporter liaison officer John Paul Taylor put out a tweet this morning saying Police Scotland would not be allowing regulation hard hats at the game.

Some fans are understood to have been planning on wearing the hats to protect themselves from Ibrox 's 'crumbling roof'.

There have been rumours circulating about safety at Ibrox since Rangers' chairman Dave King spoke about a planned overhaul of the stadium's roof earlier this year.

However, the stadium has been declared safe with a safety certificate for the season approved by Glasgow City Council and the emergency services.

That has not stopped Rangers' Old Firm rivals continuing to have concerns about the safety of Ibrox, hence plans to wear hard hats.

The tweet from Celtic's supporter liaison officer read: "For anyone who had intended to wear one @policescotland have advised that regulation hard hats will not be permitted at the match tomorrow."

Some fans responded saying they were worried about 'debris' falling at the stadium.

Sean @notleks_nobad tweeted: "better hope no debris falls from that roof. That would be a serious legal claim now."

Others felt the police shouldn't be telling fans what to wear.

@Jinky71 tweeted: "Any advice on footwear from the fashion polis?"

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said there is not a blanket ban on hard hats being brought into Ibrox, but that anything considered capable of causing injury could be confiscated.

A lightweight plastic hat is likely to be allowed, but more heavy duty hats could be confiscated.

The spokeswoman said: "It's at the club's discretion what's allowed into the stadium.

"If somebody is carrying something that we, or the stewards, think could be thrown and cause injury, then that may be looked upon differently and won't be allowed into the stadium."
