A video clip on Twitter this morning appears to show two groups of supporters avoided in scirmishes outside of Hampden Park with Police Scotland badly outnumbered.
Filmed from a flat on Somerville Drive the incidents took place between the traditional Rangers End and Lesser Hampden with two groups clashing without any identifiable colours on show.
?Breaking kicking off early?

CAUTION: Video contains swearing.
There will be a heavy police presence at today’s match which is only the second time three years that there has been a 50-50 fans split at a Glasgow derby.
Police Scotland spend a lot of time monitoring Ultra Groups but they seem to have been caught short with two groups of around 40 fans clashing about six hours before kick-off.
