Rangers and Celtic fans clashed on the Ibrox pitch after Celtic eliminated Rangers from the Scottish Cup in a penalty shootout.

The two teams faced off again after their recent Scottish Premiership draw, with Celtic advancing to the cup semi-final following a 4-2 win in penalties.

During the match, James Tavernier and Djeidi Gassama missed their penalty kicks for Rangers, which followed a goalless game marked by a lack of excitement, as Celtic had no shots on target until the shootout.
