Buckfast and Bud- Hibs players pelted with missiles at Hampden

Hibs players were pelted with missiles as they celebrated their third goal at Hampden yesterday.

Martin Boyle drove his penalty past Allan McGregor to put his side 3-0 in front and raced over to towards the corner flag where he was joined by delighted team-mates.

Unfortunately a number of missiles were thrown at the players with the tickets all allocated to Ibrox Season Ticket holders and My Gers members.

To get into Hampden fans needed to produce evidence of being double vaccinated but it seems that the security checks failed to uncover cans and bottles smuggled into the stadium.

The Sun reports:

HIBS’ stars were seen ducking for cover after missiles were launched from the crowd as they celebrated their third goal at Hampden.

And new pictures have shown a Budweiser can and Buckfast GLASS BOTTLE were two of the items thrown from the Rangers end yesterday.

The incident came after Martin Boyle smashed home a hat-trick sealing penalty just before half-time to hand the Edinburgh side a 3-0 lead.

Jack Ross’ men ran to join in the celebration in front of the 35,000 strong Gers support at the national stadium.

As the players dispersed to head back to halfway, Jake Doyle-Hayes and Josh Campbell were seen covering their heads from the missiles.

Referee Kevin Clancy and his linesman were seen on video looking up at the stand as the players gathered. Hibs players then helped the officials them kick the dangerous items off the playing surface.

Police Scotland, Rangers and Hibs have all been contacted for comment.

The SPFL has failed to make any comment on the incidents.
