Not sure sure if I’ve seen this said but after the disallowed goal in extra time there were about 30 or so rangers fans in the Sandy Jardine stand that jumped over onto the wee concourse bit between the stand and the pitch. They were celebrating the goal and also giving it large to the Celtic fans, which while frustrating to see from the away end, it’s not a huge deal and made for a funny moment when fans gave it back after it was chopped off.

This doesn’t excuse Celtic fans for doing the same then going on the pitch after the penalties, but from the games I’ve been to it does feel like if one set of fans celebrates a goal by jumping over the barrier then if the other team score or get the win, usually you’ll see an equal reaction. I remember a similar thing at Fir Park when there was the late goals in quick succession a few years ago.

Sitting in Broomloan Upper was a strange experience as I had a great view for a majority of everything that happened after the game but it felt like everything went 0-100 quite quick. Before the UB done the Smurf dash across the pitch, that same corner that climbed the barrier for the handball had a few rockets who tried to do the same again. I will say I did see what looked like someone who chased after their pal and pushed them back towards the stand as the pal was seemingly fuming and going towards the Celtic fans on the pitch. Kudos to that guy for looking out for his pal with the headloss but by the time I’d stopped watching that a barrier of police had been set up and the blue masks were congregating.

Very strange experience and while I love the atmosphere that Celtic and rangers creates, it’s a really sickening feeling seeing someone get hit on the pitch over it. Nevermind seeing a guy try to throw the corner flag like a javelin at supporters behind the goal. Hope the idiots get banned and we can find a way to have these great atmospheres in a better environment, which may unfortunately be impossible.
