Rangers will offer more protection to their women's team after they were allegedly subjected to 'sectarian abuse' by the Green Brigade last weekend.
The Celtic fan group packed into East Kilbride's K-Park on Sunday afternoon to take in Celtic Women vs Rangers Women in the SWPL.

According to the Daily Record, Rangers claim their players were targeted by fans in the home section as Celts won 3-1.
And now the Glasgow giants have told how they are willing to consider introducing tighter security at matches.
A spokesperson for the club told the publication: "Our women were subjected to misogynistic and sectarian abuse, which is totally unacceptable.
"Perhaps security measures need to be introduced for Rangers women when they have a match away from home against Celtic."
We exclusively told how the Green Brigade watched their team win the league spoils on Sunday and brought with them banners and flags after watching their men's team batter St Johnstone 7-0 one day earlier.
Celtic have been approached for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
