CELTIC fans were back at a league match at Ibrox for the first time since early 2023.
And a section of Hoops fans arrived armed with flags and banners belonging to the RANGERS ultras.

In the final Old Firm clash of the season, Rangers and Celtic played out an entertaining 1-1 draw.
Cyriel Dessers‘ opening goal was cancelled-out by an Adam Idah equaliser and there wasn’t to be a winner.
The game saw Celtic fans return to Ibrox for the first time in more than two years.
A 2-2 draw in January 2023 was the last time Hoops supporters were at the Gers’ home stadium.

It was also the last game before the away fans’ lockout began, a lockout that only ended at the last derby at Parkhead back in March.
Late last year, a section of the Celtic ultras group the Green Brigade posed with an array of flags and banners they’d seemingly stolen from the Union Bears, the leading Rangers ultras group.
Several months on, many of those same items appeared to have been brought into Ibrox this afternoon.
The Green Brigade banner, seen at every Celtic game, was hung over the advertising hoardings in front of the away section.
At one point, several stolen flags were held aloft behind it.
One of the flags, a yellow and black display reading ‘warning pyrotechnics incoming’ was visible when the Green Brigade posted a previous image back in September.

Several other flags also appearing to have belonged to the Gers ultras group the Union Bears were also waved.
At the start of the match, a giant display was unfurled at the other end of the stadium.
It contained an image of Rangers legend Graeme Souness holding a shotgun, which is a real picture from the early 1980s.
The gun on the display appeared to be aimed towards the corner housing the Celtic fans.
Along the bottom of the banner, the words “take aim against the rebel scum” could be seen.
