Brendan Rodgers was targeted by a second coin-throwing incident at Ibrox on Thursday afternoon, with Celtic hitting out at the ‘appalling and completely unacceptable’ behaviour.
Rangers won 3-0 in a shock result in Glasgow’s south side but the game was briefly brought to a halt late on when Arne Engels was struck in the head by a coin. The shameful scenes left the Celtic midfielder on the deck and he had to be checked out by medical staff, while ref Don Robertson was seen on TV cameras handing a coin over to the police pitchside, who placed it into an evidence bag.
But Record Sport understand that wasn’t the extent of it with Rodgers also targeted in a second disgusting incident. A statement from the Parkhead club reads: “We understand that Police Scotland are currently investigating 2 separate incidents. The repeated targeting of our players and staff with missiles is quite appalling and completely unacceptable.”
Rangers have vowed to help cops dig out the culprit and were quick to released a statement in the aftermath of the flashpoint. They said: “Rangers FC condemns this incident in the strongest possible terms.”
