Teen arrested after Scott Brown taunted over tragic sister following Rangers win
A teenager has been arrested after Celtic captain Scott Brown was taunted over the tragic death of his sister as he left Ibrox following his side's win over Rangers.
Brown was boarding the Hoops bus when he was asked: "How's your sister?"
The Bhoys star's sister, Fiona, tragically died of cancer in 2008.
Today, Police Scotland say they have charged a teenager in connection with abuse aimed at the Scot.

He then left the ground escorted by police.
It is not clear why he did not leave on the team bus, but a police officer told Daily Star Online he was simply travelling separately.
Brown's Celtic deservedly won the Old Firm derby 2-0 thanks to goals from Odsonne Edouard at Jonny Hayes.
They are now three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, along with a superior goal difference.
