Concerns are mounting in Glasgow as the possibility of either Rangers or Celtic clinching the Scottish Premiership title during an Old Firm clash sparks fears of widespread disruption across the city. Despite ongoing discussions between both clubs, Police Scotland, and city council officials, worries persist over the potential for chaos, large gatherings, and public disorder.
Sources close to the talks say that while Rangers and Celtic have both reiterated their commitment to fan safety and responsible celebrations, authorities remain unconvinced that current plans will be enough to contain the intensity of the rivalry, especially if the title is decided in such a high-stakes fixture.
The upcoming Old Firm showdown, which could determine the league champion, is already one of the most anticipated matches of the season. However, the potential for it to double as a title celebration has prompted heightened security discussions and contingency planning.
City leaders have urged supporters to celebrate responsibly and emphasized the importance of avoiding large-scale gatherings, particularly in light of recent incidents tied to previous title wins.
Officials are expected to meet again in the coming days to finalize safety protocols amid growing unease over how the city might react to an Old Firm title
decider.
