A FEMALE steward was left in distress after celebrating Celtic fans caused a digital advertising hoarding to collapse.

There were wild scenes in the corner of the ground populated by the Green Brigade when Paulo Bernardo swept in the Hoops' opener against Rangers after 25 minutes.

Fans flooded down towards the pitch as the Portuguese star ran off to celebrate.

He slid on the ground on his knees - before eventually joining fans in a bear hug - as he earned a booking for the trouble.

But the female steward appeared to bear the brunt of it all, with images showing her clearly in distress.

The Hoops ultras ground have been back in the stadium for the last two matches, after signing up to a new code of conduct.

Celtic and Police Scotland have been asked for comment.

Earlier, thousands of Rangers supporters gathered on Edmiston Drive to give the players and staff a red-hot send off amidst clouds of smoke, echoes of fireworks and snow blizzards.

The footage shows the Ibrox faithful gathered around it and chanted loudly, with drums heard and a large amount of pyro set off.

Several supporters also banged on the side of the bus in a show of encouragement.
