Celtic winger Jota appeared to have objects thrown at him during this afternoon's match against Rangers at Ibrox.
The Portuguese winger alerted referee Steven McLean to objects on the pitch which appeared to come from the stands.
Jota appeared to be struck by an object before stopping to inform the official of the incident as he headed to take a corner in the match.
Ref McLean then handed an object to fourth official Don Robertson after the incident.

Sky Sports commentator Ian Crocker said: "Sadly there are things being thrown at Jota."
And co-commentator Andy Walker added: "Absolutely ridiculous."
BBC commentator Liam McLeod said of the incident: "Don Robertson is the fourth official.
"Not sure what is happening here. Steven McLean has passed something to Don Robertson. Something has been lobbed onto the pitch."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
