A large group of Celtic supporters have been held by police and refused access to Parkhead for the derby tie against Rangers.
Police Scotland officers formed a divide around supporters outside the Celtic Supporters Association on London Road.
Bystanders at the scene have stated supporters heading to the ground as part of the group have been subject to police searches.
