A large group of Celtic supporters have been held by police and refused access to Parkhead for the derby tie against Rangers.
Police Scotland officers formed a divide around supporters outside the Celtic Supporters Association on London Road.
Bystanders at the scene have stated supporters heading to the ground as part of the group have been subject to police searches.

Rangers supporters had been escorted into the stadium around two hours before kick-off as Police Scotland looked to prevent any rival clashes.

The concourse around the stadium was then reopened with turnstiles opening for home supporters.
However, the group heading to the stadium on London Road was halted by police with no clear communication over when they would be allowed into the stadium.
