Police Visit Celtic’s Training Ground and Tell Players to Tone Down Any Celebrations Against Rangers

Police Scotland have visited Celtic‘s training ground today to tell their players to keep their goal celebrations to a minimum in Sunday’s Old Firm clash with Rangers, according to sources.

It will be the first time the sides have met since they clashed in the Scottish top flight three years ago.

Tempers have continued to flare between the teams despite Rangers’ off-field issues and the team’s demotion to the bottom tier of Scottish football.

It’s believed the police are worried that there could be violence in Sunday’s League Cup semi-final at Hampden – and they hope both teams can help keep a lid on tempers.

It has been alleged that officers did visit Lennoxtown this afternoon to speak with Ronny Deila’s men ahead of the clash.

Celtic are big favourites to make it through to the League Cup final given their position at the top of the Premiership and Rangers’ troubles in the Championship.

Kenny McDowall – who handed in his resignation at Ibrox weeks ago – will be in charge of the Gers, who currently sit second in the second tier, 13 points behind Hearts at the top.
