A MAN banned from going near Rangers matches was allegedly caught with a weapon after the Ibrox club's weekend clash against Celtic.

Arran Watt, 22, was allegedly found with a baton near Celtic Park on September 1, 2024.

Celtic earlier hosted Rangers in the first derby of the season which the hosts won 3-0.

There was no away allocation for Rangers fans at the match.

Watt was made subject to bail conditions on August 19 this year not to be within 500 metres of any Rangers match.

He had appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court for the separate charge of reset of a drum at Hampden Park before a match against St Johnstone.

Court papers stated Watt, of Irvine, North Ayrshire, reset a drum which had been dishonestly appropriated by assault and robbery.
