Celtic and Rangers have both been fined £7,500 for a melee at the end of their Old Firm game at Celtic Park on March 31.

James Forrest's late strike gave Celtic a 2-1 win over Rangers in a bad-tempered derby in which Gers striker Alfredo Morelos was sent off in the first half.

Rangers winger Ryan Kent also escaped a red card when he appeared to raise his hands towards Celtic captain Scott Brown in the second-half.

Trouble erupted again at the final whistle when Rangers defender Andy Halliday received a second yellow card after taking exception to Brown's post-match celebrations, leading to further confrontations between players on either side.
