EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — Scottish soccer suffered another night of controversy on Friday as Rangers drew 1-1 at Hibernian.
Hibernian's Florian Kamberi scored the equalizer with 15 minutes left in the Premiership game at Easter Road, but the result was overshadowed by a fan who jumped out of the home end and confronted Rangers captain James Tavernier.
The fan kicked the ball away as Tavernier went to pick it up and the two briefly squared off before security and police dragged the man away.
The incident comes six days after Celtic winger Scott Sinclair had a bottle thrown at him during a Scottish Cup quarterfinal game against Hibernian.
