Rangers have condemned “in the strongest possible terms” an incident in which Celtic’s Arne Engels was hit with a coin during Thursday’s Old Firm game.
The substitute fell to the ground and required treatment after being hit when going for a corner towards the end of Rangers’ 3-0 win.
There were no Celtic fans inside Ibrox due to the ongoing dispute over away ticket allocations and Rangers said they would assist the police in their investigation.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed Engels was “OK” but added that “an inch lower, he would have (hit) the eye”.
The incident came close to ending a derby that cut Celtic’s lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 11 points and could leave Rangers facing punishment.
Celtic defender Alistair Johnston saw Engels hit and warned “everyone be smart” when it comes to matches.
“These are people outside, a man’s son, so let’s avoid things in men’s heads,” added the defender.
