Martin O'Neill fears Celtic and Rangers nightmare scenario will happen in wake of pitch invasionChaos descended at Ibrox last weekend and fans from both sides ran onto the pitch shortly after the full-time whistleContent cannot be displayed without consentMartin O'Neill admits he now fears no away allocations will be permitted at Celtic v Rangers matches following the disgraceful scenes at Ibrox on Sunday. ‌And the Irishman is saddened by the events because he reckons the atmosphere during their Scottish Cup quarter final victory over their arch rivals was the best he had seen for a long, long time. ‌But what quickly followed was shocking, as fans from both teams spilled onto the pitch, overshadowing their hard-earned victory.

My usual thing is to acknowledge the away fans for a few seconds and then getting back in again.
