A MAN has been arrested in connection with an alleged breach of the police following yesterday's Old Firm derby.
It comes after cops "kettled" a group of supporters to stop them marching to Ibrox Stadium before the game.
Officers were called to Paisley Road West, near Shieldhall Road, at around 11am with local reports suggesting as many as 15 vans were used to escort the rally.
It is believed there was no trouble from supporters then but Police Scotland has confirmed one man was later arrested.
A force spokesperson said: "We received report of anti-social behaviour involving a large group gathered on Paisley Road West near to Shieldhall Road in Glasgow around 11am.
"Officers attended and the group were dispersed."
Meanwhile, police say they are probing reports of anti-Irish racism in the city centre before the game.
A large crowd appeared to mock the Irish Famine as it made its way along Argyle Street and Jamaica Street.

Referring to the 19th-century catastrophe which left more than one million people dead, the song tells Irish people to “go home” and claims they have brought “trouble and shame” to Scotland.
