Sir Rod Stewart has issued a plea to Celtic and Rangers supporters to “behave themselves” ahead of this weekend’s explosive Old Firm clash in Glasgow.
The singer, a lifelong Celtic fan, addressed both sets of supporters on social media following questions from fans about the violence that erupted during the March 8 meeting between the rival clubs.

Behaviour at the game was labelled “appalling” by ministers, and First Minister John Swinney said it posed a severe danger to fans, police officers and stewards.
Sir Rod said: “I’ve got no idea what happened.
“There’s no excuses whatsoever.
“I find that behaviour somewhat archaic nowadays.”

Sir Rod confirmed he would be in Glasgow for Sunday’s match and urged fans to act responsibly.
He said: “Let’s try to pull together and behave ourselves.”
