Rangers' Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Motherwell has been delayed.
That's because both sets of supporters let off pyrotechnics before kick-off at Hampden Park, leading to referee Nick Walsh opting to halt the start due to the poor visibility.
The whistler went off to the touchline to consult the police about the decision.
It was the second successive day that the showpiece event hasn't began when scheduled. Celtic's 6-0 thrashing of Aberdeen on Saturday night didn't get underway until 13 minutes later than planned.
For this one. Motherwell have around eight thousand fans at the national stadium, with Rangers occupying the rest of the tickets.
