Rangers supporter groups 'fully aligned' with request to stay away from Celtic Park
Both clubs have issued messages urging fans to stay at home if the Old Firm fixture takes place, following criticism of Rangers response to last week’s title celebrations, which saw fans congregate at Ibrox and George Square.
First minister Nicola Sturgeon has welcomed the statements but added a final decision on whether the game will go ahead had not yet been taken.
