The disorder quickly settled down with fans returning to the stands as police and stewards formed a barrier between opposing supporters.
It was the first time Celtic supporters have been given the full Broomloan Road Stand allocation at Ibrox since it was reduced to fewer than 1,000 in 2018.
Traditionally, around 7,500 Celtic fans filled the stand for Old Firm derbies.
Since then, away allocations at both Ibrox and Celtic Park have fluctuated between about 750 and zero in a series of tit-for-tat moves.
Police said some of the supporters had entered the Broomloan Stand without tickets, forcing delays to the security operation with turnstiles closed for a time.
