Dundee chief John Nelms gave an unconvincing interview to STV claiming that a flag inside the stadium was removed because it was covering a sign from a patron (advertiser).
Social media quickly trashed that argument when it showed a flag from the Ibrox club at the same point covering an advert at Dens Park.
There seemed to be a very strong police presence for the visiting support, with a 12.30 Sunday kick off drinking opportunities were limited.
The issue of removing flags has been highlighted by the Celtic Supporters Association, no discussion or argument was made by the steward who snatched the flag before moving swiftly away from the scene.
Much more important games coming up for KThttps://t.co/4UGeOASOSE
