Police Scotland say they will not tolerate any form of anti-social behaviour around the Old Firm clash between Celtic and Rangers on Saturday.
There will be 60,000 spectators at Celtic Park for the match, which is live on Sky Sports 2 HD, with plenty of others watching at home and in pubs around the country.

Chief Superintendent Brian McInulty says police will have additional officers on patrol across the whole of Scotland and issued a strong warning to anybody looking to cause trouble.
"There is a considerable uplift and people will see additional officers out on patrol," he told Sky Sports News HQ.
"The vast majority of people are going to this game to watch and enjoy the football but what I would say is that the small number of people who have got intentions of causing any sort of bother, whether that be sectarian behaviour, disorder or violent behaviour, those officers who will be out on patrol will deal with that.
"They will deal with that robustly to make sure we are ensuring the safety and enjoyment of the vast majority of people who want to enjoy that game."
