A specialist team of police will be deployed at the next Rangers v Celtic game in a bid to tackle sectarianism.
Strathclyde Police said 35 officers would mingle with the crowd during the Easter Sunday match at Ibrox to target fans involved in sectarian behaviour.
The move follows both clubs endorsing a government-led anti-bigotry plan.
This was drawn up in the aftermath of last month's ill-tempered Scottish Cup replay at Celtic Park which saw scenes of unrest within the stadium.
