GLASGOW, Scotland – In a concerning incident during the Old Firm derby, Celtic midfielder Arne Engels was struck in the face by a coin thrown from the stands as he prepared to take a corner kick late in the match. This unsettling moment occurred amidst a 3-0 loss for Celtic against their rivals, Rangers, at Ibrox (source: BBC).
Engels fell to the ground, requiring treatment before continuing to play. Fortunately, he was uninjured, as Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed, stating it was "not obviously great for the game,” but adding, “he’s OK” (source: AP News). The incident occurred when there were no Celtic fans present due to a ticket allocation dispute.
After the match, Rangers condemned the event “in the strongest possible terms” and pledged full cooperation with police investigations. Defender Alistair Johnston expressed concern, urging fans to “refrain from chucking things at guys’ heads,” emphasizing the human aspect involved in these matches.
