Rangers say they will ban any supporters found guilty of throwing glass bottles during Sunday's Old Firm defeat to Celtic.

The Ibrox side have also confirmed they are assisting Police Scotland over two separate incidents during their 2-1 defeat to Celtic.

Ange Postecoglou revealed one of his backroom staff required stitches after being struck by a glass bottle.

The start of the second-half of the match was also delayed as shards of glass had to be cleared from the penalty area after a bottle was thrown from the stand.

A Rangers spokesperson told Sky Sports News: "We are assisting Police Scotland regarding both incidents and can confirm that stadium CCTV is being reviewed.

"We strongly condemn both incidents and the perpetrators will be banned."

Rangers' supporters liaison officer Greg Marshall also tweeted: "We are working with Police Scotland to identify the individual who threw a bottle onto the pitch at half time yesterday.

"This delayed the start of the second half and put players safety in danger. Anyone with information can pass details anonymously to either the club or Police."

The SPFL are awaiting a report from the incidents on Sunday but have urged fans with any information to come forward.

A spokesperson from the league's governing body said: “We await the match delegate’s report, and we would urge any fans with information about these incidents to contact the police.”
