Rangers head coach Danny Röhl condemned the pitch invasion following Celtic's Scottish Cup victory at Ibrox, where the Glasgow rivals played to a 0-0 draw before Celtic won 4-2 on penalties. The chaotic scenes saw both sets of supporters storm the field, with missiles thrown as police and stewards attempted to separate the rival fans.

Celtic's 7,500 traveling supporters were eventually left to celebrate alone after order was restored. The Scottish FA launched an immediate investigation into the incident, which former Scotland international Charlie Adam labeled a "disgrace" that embarrassed Scottish football. Adam criticized both clubs' supporters for letting down the nation.

The Old Firm derby had already been marred by restrictions on away fans, with Adam noting the fixture had "lost a bit of its lustre" before this latest controversy. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill acknowledged the difficulty in controlling jubilant supporters but expressed concern that the post-match chaos would overshadow his team's victory over a strong Rangers side.
