Rangers fan admits breach of the peace following Old Firm cup clash
60-year-old Wilson Martin ran across the track at Ibrox to challenge Celtic supporters to a fight following the controversial match in March
A Rangers fan who ran across the track at Ibrox to challenge Celtic supporters to a fight has admitted breach of the peace, and conducting himself in a disorderly manner.
Wilson Martin, 60, jumped over a barrier to confront opposing fans after watching his side get knocked out of the Scottish Cup on penalties on 8th March 2026.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that, at the end of the game, fans from both sides entered the pitch and engaged in "large scale disorder".
Police reviewed CCTV of the disorder after the match as part of an investigation.
Prosecutor Katie Malcolm told the court Martin was identified as one of the people involved.
Martin handed himself in at a police station
She said: "Martin was identified as one of the people involved in the disorder.
"He climbed over a railing and ran on the track around the edge of the pitch.
"Wilson ran towards opposition fans and challenged them to a fight."
Martin later handed himself in at a police station and was arrested.
CCTV of Martin's involvement was played to the court.
He was highlighted in a blue jacket, standing several rows up the Sandy Jardine stand, near the away support.
As the footage progressed, Martin was seen running down stairs before hopping over the barrier onto the track.
He was then seen running towards the corner of the Celtic support, before a fellow supporter ushered him back and he returned to the stand.
Sentence deferred until next month
Martin, from Rutherglen in Lanarkshire, is a first offender.
He pleaded guilty to conducting himself in a disorderly manner and committing a breach of the peace.
Sheriff Shona Gilroy deferred sentence until next month pending background reports.
She granted Martin bail in the meantime.
