Mjallby reveals police to visit Hoops

Johan Mjallby revealed Celtic are to receive a visit from the police after training in a bid to take the heat out of Sunday's Co-operative Insurance Cup final against Old Firm rivals Rangers at Hampden. The Scottish Cup fifth-round replay between the Glasgow giants at Parkhead earlier in the month - which Celtic won 1-0 - ended with three Rangers players sent off and Hoops manager Neil Lennon and Ibrox assistant Ally McCoist having to be separated at the final whistle. Consequently, at the behest of the police, Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond convened a summit meeting in Edinburgh attended by Rangers chief executive Martin Bain and his Celtic counterpart Peter Lawwell, as an attempt, in part, to end the trouble surrounding the fixture. Mjallby, who will lead the team out at Hampden as Lennon serves a four-match touchline ban for being sent to the stand at Tynecastle in November, said: "The police are going to visit us after training and we will take on board what they are going to tell us. "It is fine, it is great. They are going to tell us what they expect from us and it something we will listen to. I don't know what they are going to say but we will listen."
