Celtic will investigate protests outside Parkhead after revealing some players had been left “shaken” after being targeted by missiles from their own fans.

Hundreds gathered to protest outside Celtic Park after a 2-0 Betfred Cup defeat by Ross County – the club’s first domestic cup defeat in 36 matches stretching back to April 2016.
