Celtic and Rangers both fined 7,500 by SFA after latest Old Firm trouble
Celtic and Rangers have both been fined 7,500 by the SFA after the raucous scenes which followed their latest meeting.The clubs were both accused of breaching rule 204 – where three or more players and/or members of team staff are involved in a confrontation with the opposition.1

Scott Brown got under the skin of Rangers’ players

Players and staff from both sides, as well as stewards, were involved in pushing and jostling after Rangers left-back Andy Halliday confronted Celtic skipper Scott Brown over his celebrations immediately after the final whistle sounded on a 2-1 win for the Scottish Premiership champions at Celtic Park on March 31.Halliday received a second yellow card while Rangers substitute Wes Foderingham and Celtic defender Mikael Lustig were also booked. Aberdeen and Hearts were each fined 500 for the same offence last week, and both Inverness and Ross County recently received 2,500 punishments following a Highland derby confrontation.Brown faced an SFA hearing last week over his celebrations from the March 31 encounter but his charge was not proved.Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes also faced an SFA hearing on Thursday and received a one-match touchline ban after being dismissed following a gesture to Celtic fans at Hampden last month.McInnes was sent to the stand during his team’s 3-0 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat after aiming an arm gesture at opposition fans. The Dons boss was reacting to a sectarian chant directed towards him.

I’m just keen to get it resolved really but I admitted and was apologising right away on the day.“That hasn’t changed because I wish I hadn’t responded but I also feel there was a lot of real mitigating circumstances and I hope that gets looked at as well.”
