On the pitch, we reported that in the second half, with Rangers leading 3-0, players from both teams got into a heated altercation on the far side of the pitch.
Olwethu Mahaina tackled Haissem Hassan to the ground before James Penrice kicked the ball which hit Hassan, who was lying on the ground.
The Celtic winger jumped to his feet to confront Penrice, suggesting the ball had been struck at him after he fell to the ground.
Within seconds, players from both sides were ramming the field, with Colby Donovan and Nico Raskin engaged in a shouting match.
