Two Scots have been arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour at a train station just over the border.
One of the two men in question was also arrested for being in possession of a controlled drug.
They were held by officers at Carlisle Train Station at around 4.45pm on Saturday, October 17.
It comes after Rangers triumphed 2-0 over Celtic in Saturday's highly anticipated derby clash.
Cumbria Police said intelligence earlier in the week suggested a large number of fans were thinking of travelling from Scotland to Carlisle for the crunch match.
A statement from the police force reads: "Two arrests were made at around 4:45pm at the train station, one man was arrested for drunk and disorderly and a second man was also arrested for drunk and disorderly and possession of a controlled drug.
"Both men were from Scotland and remain in police custody."
Publicans south of the border braced themselves for droves of Scots football fans venturing to England to watch the game, where coronavirus restrictions weren't as tight as in the central belt.
But officers thanked business owners and fans for adhering to government guidelines.
Superintendent Matt Kennerly said: “Firstly, I’d like to say thank you to the fans and licensees who listened to our message last week.
“Intelligence earlier in the week suggested that a large number of fans were thinking of making the journey to Cumbria from Scotland.
“Ahead of Saturday we engaged with coach companies and licensees around the current guidance and to think about their responsibilities, and the restrictions in place.

“We had officers out in Carlisle engaging with licensees as well as fans through out the day and fortunately, no licences were in breach of regulations and we haven't had to issues any fines.”
