Police had a "constructive" meeting today with Celtic FC to discuss the incident at Sunday's Old Firm match which left fans injured in a 'crush' ahead of the match.

The police officer also extended an invite to supporters groups to discuss concerns with the force later this week.

Following the meeting, Chief Superintendent Brian McInulty, Divisional Commander for Greater Glasgow, said: “The meeting which was held today was very constructive. There were a number of points discussed and actions which will be taken forward.

“Later this week I will meet with representatives from Celtic FC supporters clubs regarding any concerns they may have. 

“I am aware of a lot of conflicting information being circulated regarding what took place on Sunday. 

“I can confirm that having carried out a comprehensive multi-agency debrief today, we have found no evidence to support suggestions that the gate on Janefield Street was closed at any time in the lead up to kick off. 

“I would like to reiterate that the safety of people attending football matches remains the absolute priority for Police Scotland.  In realising that the area was becoming overcrowded, officers and stewards acted quickly to stop further people entering Janefield Street, which was in line with our tried and tested plans for this type of situation. Had it not been for their actions there could have been a far more serious outcome and I am grateful to them for the professional manner in which they responded.

“We will continue to work with Celtic FC and with the supporters to learn from Sunday and to improve future policing and stewarding operations.”

A dad told the Evening Times how his traumatised son had to be taken to hospital after the incident outside Celtic Park.

After arriving around 11am, the pair made their way into the stadium via the underpass at Janefield Street where they became just two of thousands trapped in the crowd.
