Police found a stash of “potentially dangerous items” including a “baseball bat” after members of the Rangers ultras group the Union Bears were given early access to Ibrox Stadium ahead of the Ne’erday derby.
And they were ejected from the ground just hours before the clash with Celtic following the discovery, reports The Scottish Sun. The haul was found in a bin after supporters were allowed entry ahead of the 12.30pm kick off to lay out banners in the Broomloan Road Stand.
Superintendent Emma Croft told the newspaper: “Police engaged with a group of supporters given access to Ibrox in advance of the Rangers v Celtic fixture. During a cursory search, a number of potentially dangerous items were found secreted in the stadium. Two men have been reported to the fiscal for minor drug offences. Inquiries are ongoing.”
