Police officer assaulted during Old Firm cup match
The force said a 28-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident during the Premier Sports Cup game.
Sunday's Old Firm cup match at Ibrox saw a Police Scotland officer assaulted, according to the force. The Rangers victory over Aberdeen ended 3-0. The incident resulted in four arrests, including a 28-year-old man accused of assaulting a police officer. A 55-year-old man was arrested for sectarian abuse, while a 25-year-old faced charges for breach of the peace.
A 27-year-old was also arrested for threatening and abusive behavior and resisting arrest. Chief Superintendent Stevie Dolan praised the majority of fans for their conduct, acknowledging "minor offences" during the event. The arrested suspects will be reported to the procurator fiscal. No away supporters attended the match due to a temporary arrangement following the Scottish FA's review of last season's Scottish Cup quarter-final, which was marred by unrest.
Rangers will face Aberdeen in the semis, while Hearts will play Hibs for the final spot at Hampden on December 13.
