SPFL ask Rangers to explain Old Firm derby banner and missiles

The bottle landed near Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo during the second half, with Rangers substitute Neraysho Kasanwirjo – who had been warming up nearby – entering the pitch to remove it.

On Friday, Sinisalo said other items were directed towards him.

“First of all, I was hit with something in my lower leg,” said the Finn. “It wasn’t just a bottle, there was lighters, vapes, coins, mugs, all sorts.

“Let’s say that glass bottle hits me or hits someone else, what happens next? What if it hits you in the eye and you can’t play football after that.

“Those are the questions that we need answers for.”

When Rangers and Celtic met at Ibrox in January, an object was thrown from the crowd and struck visiting midfielder Arne Engels, who required treatment.

“It’s not the first time it’s happened,” added Sinisalo. “I was there when Arne was hit, [team-mate] Greg [Taylor] has been hit, [former Celtic keeper] Joe Hart’s been hit, staff members have been hit.

“It’s up to the authorities and the club there. I’m just glad I never got hit because things could be bad if you get hit.”
