Police Scotland confirmed that the British Transport Police were on the scene trying to calm tensions and halt the clashes.

Tensions seem to have boiled over after a weak performance from Edinburgh side Hearts who were brushed aside by a seemingly unstoppable Glasgow Celtic side.

Celtic will now progress through to the next round of the Scottish Cup alongside Inverness Caledonian Thistle and their bitter rivals Rangers.

Falkirk play against Ayr United on Monday night to see who will complete the lineup for this season's Scottish Cup semi finals.
