A minute's silence held before the Old Firm game has been broken by disruptive fans.
A shout of 'I hope you die' was heard breaking the 60 second silence in memory of the 66 Rangers fans who lost their lives in the 1971 Ibrox disaster during live coverage of the match on Sky Sports.
It is not known who the shout came from.
Other insults and noises could also be heard during the silence.
Players could be seen shaking their heads as the tribute was disrupted.
The silence was observed by the majority of fans at the match held at Ibrox, which is the first festive Old Firm derby since 2011.
Rangers and Celtic had urged supporters to respect the silence in memory of the 66 fans who lost their lives following a crush on Stairway 13 ahead of the Old Firm match.
In a statement, Rangers said: "It is to be hoped the 60 seconds will be observed properly and that decency will prevail over any rivalries.
"The period of silence is about one thing and one thing only - honouring the memory of the 66 fans who left their homes to go to a football match and never returned."
In a statement to their fans, Celtic added: "This Saturday, ahead of the league game between the sides at Ibrox, a minute's silence will be held when supporters of both clubs will be asked to take a moment of quiet reflection and remember the 66 men, women and children who had gone to watch a game of football on January 2, 1971 but who, sadly, did not return home."
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers also said: "The tragedy at Ibrox was one which affected Rangers Football Club and so many other people across Scotland. It transcended football and was an event which also involved Celtic so closely.
"As we have done many times before we will pay our respects on Saturday and remember sincerely those who lost their lives and all those others affected in the most tragic circumstances of 1971."
