A man has appeared in court charged with “making racial gestures” at last weekend’s Old Firm clash.

Jamie Scott, 27, is accused of engaging in behaviour that is likely or would be likely to incite public disorder by shouting and making the gesture.

The offence is contrary to the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act and is said to have taken place on April 29 at Ibrox Stadium.

Scott, from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, appeared from custody yesterday (Fri) at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he was represented by Bill McCluskey.

He denied the charge and a trial was set for September.

He was released on bail with the condition he must not go to regulated football matches.
