So many flares and rockets were taken into the Viaplay Cup Final last month that a specialist company had to be called in to remove the debris.
More pyrotechnics were taken into the recent Old Firm clash at Hampden than any previous match in Scottish history, it has been claimed.
One senior security source said that, despite searches at turnstiles, the match resulted in more pyro material entering the ground than any previous match in Scottish history. He said: "There is an arms race going on, where groups can clearly be seen trying to outdo each other with bigger flags and hard hitting slogans - all with more flares and an intimidating atmosphere of smoke.
He added: "At Hampden, fans were searched on the way in but ultra groups know this is a cursory effort. Former Scottish Police Federation chair David Hamilton echoed the accusations on apathy and tolerance of pyros. He urged for a formal public gathering of the Scottish Government, Police Scotland, the SFA, SPFL, and other stakeholders to lay down a blueprint to tackle pyros.
