Sponsored by. THIS is the shocking moment that saw Celtic and Rangers ultras clashing in Glasgow city centre ahead of the Premier Sports Cup Final. The footage - seemingly shot from within the HMV store on Argyle Street - shows Christmas shoppers forced to take shelter as a large number of fans run past, with a heavy police presence and PYRO being lit right in front of them.

Hoops ultras were spotted in the Merchant City area while the Rangers ultras were spotted walking past Glasgow Central Station with a heavy police presence. At some point, both groups appeared to come into contact with each other as several pieces of video footage showed.

Plenty of shouting can be heard and a couple of people end up on the ground. A woman can be heard shouting as another woman attempts to make it out of the HMV store, only to be forced back inside amid the commotion. Just moments after the Rangers ultras run past the shop, they are swiftly followed in the footage by a group of Celtic ultras.
