Rangers fans escorted to Parkhead by police while Celtic supporters turn Glasgow green and white with flares

The cops outnumbered the Gers fans and were sure to keep them well away from their arch-rivals on the walk to Celtic Park.

The supporters were held near the stadium on Springfield Road to stop any ugly clashes before the Scottish Premier League match.

The fans were eventually allowed through and into the stadium for kick-off.

Police have been on duty all day and in huge numbers to prevent any violence between the Old Firm rivals.

Glasgow was turned green and white earlier in the day amidst a huge cloud of smoke.

Celtic supporters let off flares as they marched on mass along the city’s London Road en route to Parkhead for the showdown.

Tottenham clash with Millwall has heavy police presence as fan violence breaks out at FA Cup quarter-final clash

Police vans were parked up all over north London with hundreds of officers patrolling the streets around the stadium.

Cops were pictured in riot gear as tempers inevitable rose between fans shortly before the 2pm kick-off.

Multiple supporters were seen being wrestled to the ground and arrested by police after violent clashes.

Flares were also set off in surrounding area as fans filtered into the ground.

But there were no reports of any major incidents.

Tottenham took the extra measure of removing club branded signs from the away end.

That was after Arsenal fans last season tore down signs in the away end after being held in by police following the game.

And authorities were taking no chances with hundreds of stewards on duty to segregate fans in the stands.

Stewards were also issued with neon-orange hard hats as precaution in case of any violent clashes during the game.

A PICTURE of a cop who appears to be handcuffed to a railing during the FA Cup clash between Millwall and Tottenham Hotspur has gone viral.

The image appeared online after the match, with people claiming that it shows a Metropolitan Police officer handcuffed to a garden railing.

One Twitter user uploaded the image with the caption: "A Millwall fan managed to handcuff a Policeman to a gate close to WHL today…" [sic]

The photo has been shared widely on social media with many finding the situation the cop reportedly found himself in hilarious.

"He's never going to hear the end of that down the station," Stuart Brookes commented.

Another said: "Best thing iv seen all year" [sic].

Craig Gough added: "That's brilliant that is. Hat off to Millwall lad that managed that."

But Gary Smith seemed less convinced, saying: "Will people bloody realise that the copper isn't handcuffed to the gate whatsoever! You can clearly see that isn't the case". [sic]

The validity of the photograph has not been verified and Daily Star Online has contacted Metropolitan Police for comment.

Violence erupted at White Hart Lane just before the match with police attempting to control fans as they spilled into the stadium.

After the match a video was circulated online reportedly showing what appears to be a Millwall fan thumping a Tottenham Hotspur fan to the floor.

He said he was in the Queen of Bradgate when a Sevilla fan walked in injured.

"Police came in too. The man was fine."

Mr Thornton said after that police were keeping fans separate in High Street.

"It had all been fine until then," he said.

"It was all bubbling up – it's just one of these things when there is a lot of excitement."

He added he and his friends had been chatting with Spanish fans today and they were very friendly.

Another witness said: "There were a few bottles or glasses thrown at the top end of High Street, but the police moved in very quickly.

Eight arrested following clashes between Leicester City and Sevilla fans

Eight people were arrested in connection with trouble associated with Leicester City's Champions League match against Sevilla FC.
The arrests were made during a police operation as part of Tuesday's Uefa Champions League clash.
A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Police said: "A total of eight people were arrested during the police operation.
"Six of the arrests were made prior to the match, and another two at the stadium during the game itself."

A 29-year-old man is due to appear before Leicester magistrates after being charged with public order offences in relation to the trouble.
The Leicestershire force would not divulge any further details of the incidents relating to the arrests, or those involved.
Reports in Spain, however, point to a confrontation between rival supporters in High Street, close to the Jubilee Square Fanzone, about two hours before the match, as the main flashpoint.

National Spanish daily, El Pais, reported that seven Sevilla fans were arrested in Leicester on Tuesday following a clash with local "hooligans" backed by "Polish ultras".
It quoted police sources in Spain and England as saying that a group of ultras (football hooligans) belonging to a radical faction of Sevilla fans known as the Biris clashed in High Street, at around 5.45pm.
Five of the Spanish group, according to El Pais, were freed thanks to the intervention of Spanish police, with a two further men remaining in police custody in England.
It is believed many of those arrested had travelled to Leicester from Spain without tickets to the game.

The Spanish newspaper reported that one Sevilla hooligan was treated in hospital for injuries sustained during the trouble but was now "out of danger".
It said that several hooligans from Leicester, and at least one Polish national, were also arrested, but police would not specify how many.
The arrests marred an otherwise momentous evening for City, who secured a stunning 2-0 victory against the La Liga giants – earning them a 3-2 aggregate win over two legs to progress to the quarter finals of the competition.
