MARTIN O'NEILL described his view of a brawl involving a supporter and member of his backroom staff after a mass pitch invasion marred his team's Scottish Cup win at Ibrox.

The Scottish FA has launched an investigation after Celtic and Rangers fans clashed following the visitors' penalty shootout triumph.

Police apprehended a man after Celtic players, including Tomas Cvancara, ran to the scene of an incident involving a member of Celtic staff. Cvancara, who scored the winning shootout penalty, was later interviewed on TV with blood stains on his strip.

Celtic right-back Julian Araujo was pushed by a Rangers supporter after hundreds of home fans ran on to the pitch towards the Broomloan Road stand after some of the 7,500 visiting fans invaded the pitch following Cvancara's winning penalty at the opposite end.
