Two dolls wearing Rangers scarves were dangling from the upper tier of Celtic Park from nooses during the match, which took place on September 10.

Detectives subsequently launched an investigation into vandalism and offensive behaviour and now a 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the hanging dolls. He will appear in court later today.
