Rangers had hosted Celtic the previous Sunday in their 2-2 Scottish Premiership draw, when away fans made up around 2,500 of the 50,000 crowd. <\/p>\n

Danny Rohl’s side are due to visit the 60,000-seater Celtic Park once more in the league this season and when the last time the sides met at Celtic Park in January, approaching 2,400 Rangers supporters attended.<\/p>\n

Celtic’s allocation on Sunday was akin to visiting crowds at Ibrox derbies during O’Neill’s first spell managing in Glasgow from 2000-05, when he won seven trophies with the club, including three league titles.<\/p>\n

“I would love if there was a serious consideration to be looking at these particular things, what happened, what could have been avoided, but I honestly think that in terms of atmosphere, there was nothing like it,” added O’Neill.<\/p>\n

“And I’m talking about going there to a hostile atmosphere at Ibrox, where you actually, perversely, get some sort of intoxicated joy from it. Joy might be too strong a word, but it really was amazing.<\/p>\n

“People are going to look at it and say 7,000 people at Ibrox or Celtic Park just cannot be policed.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know the answer, but I still think something would be seriously lost again if that atmosphere throughout the game is anything to go by.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
