Cops have arrested seven people following a 'complex' police operation conducted at the Celtic v Rangers game.

Officers engaged in an operation to ensure that the Scottish Cup semi-final fixture went ahead with as little disruption as possible.

The force confirmed that they had put the plan in place in order to handle violence and anti-social behaviour. 

Seven arrests were made for various offences, including assault.

One individual was ticketed for alleged possession of a pyrotechnic.
