Rangers supporters have been ushered into Celtic Park ahead of the derby clash this afternoon.
The lucky Ibrox supporters with tickets for the away end were led into the stadium before 11am this morning with police ensuring a safe route into the ground.
Rangers supporters were urged to meet near the ground hours before kick-off in order to be escorted safely into the stadium.

Already, the away section at Celtic Park is packed with Rangers supporters sending chants echoing around the otherwise empty stadium.
Footage on social media shows the away section filled with Rangers supporters singing in the corner of Celtic Park before turnstiles have opened for home fans.
A Rangers fan warning before the match read: "Supporters must arrive no later than 10:30, as those arriving after this time may face delays and risk missing kick-off.

"We understand that this early arrival time may be inconvenient for supporters, and we share the frustration this may cause.
"The club made representations for this to be later, however, we have been advised this is not possible on safety grounds. By arriving at the designated time, supporters can help ensure a smooth and secure entry process."
Rangers fans could be held in the stadium for around 25 minutes after the match too depending on safety decisions from Police Scotland.
A Rangers statement added: "There is a possibility of a post-match holdback of approximately 25 minutes. This will be subject to a dynamic decision by Police Scotland during the match."
