A Rangers fan who ran onto the pitch at Ibrox and kicked a Celtic supporter during an Old Firm match faces jail.
Jamie Cameron, 28, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, ran across the Ibrox pitch and kicked a Celtic supporter during an Old Firm match on 8 March 2026, when Rangers hosted Celtic in a Scottish Cup quarter-final tie that Celtic won on penalty kicks. Both sets of fans entered the pitch and caused disorder. Prosecutor Abbas Ali told Glasgow Sheriff Court that Cameron climbed over advertising boards, ran onto the pitch gesturing towards opposition fans, then jumped and kicked an unknown male Celtic supporter, causing him to fall to the ground before running back to the Rangers support.
CCTV footage from match broadcaster Premier Sports was played to the court showing Cameron's actions across the entire pitch. Phone camera footage of the incident went viral after the match. Cameron pleaded guilty today to breach of the peace and assault. He has one previous conviction for housebreaking as a 17-year-old.
In a separate incident from the same match, three Rangers fans were also jailed after attacking a 48-year-old Celtic supporter outside Ibrox. Ben Stanex, 24, Scott Dragsness, 55, and Andrew Graham, 21, attacked Bruce Craik as he was boarding a supporters bus. They punched and repeatedly kicked and stamped on his head, leaving him unconscious with a brain bleed. All three pleaded guilty to assault and were sentenced to a combined three-and-a-half years in prison, with the offence aggravated by religious prejudice.
