The video was recorded by a passer-by and shows ten fans fighting before the semi-final match at Hampden on nearby Victoria Road.

The dog walker, who uploaded the clip online, said: “As I was walking to the park to walk my dog I heard Celtic fans singing and walking along.

“I could also see a group wearing Rangers scarves approaching from around the corner.

“The big guy that grabbed the road sign started hurling abuse at the Celtic fans and told them they were getting a ‘doing’.

“He stuck the nut on one fan and it just erupted from there.

“I was angry because my dog looked terrified and I had to cross them to get home.”
