Parkhead was closed for one month as a result of misbehaviour at Rangers-Celtic fixture at Ibrox.
No newspaper report referring to Nazi chants has ever been posted on the internet. It would have been extremely unlikely that even if such chants had occurred newspapers would have reported this anyway.
We only have anecdotal evidence from Rangers fans who were there but the version I heard was that some Celtic fans indulged in 'pro German songs'.
There is an Evening Times report referring to police storming into the Celtic end to remove (what sounds very much like) an Irish tricolour and being met with flying bottles. The tricolour was viewed as highly provocative when Eire's neutrality was causing Britain major problems.

That was correct however 8 "Irishmen" won VC's in WWII,....7 from the South and the 8th was from the Falls RdMy old man told me about the “yellow convoys” at that time, when thousands of mentally challengeds fled to the ROI to avoid conscription.
Stadium closed due to disorder at a game at Ibrox according to a newspaper article.
Sir Patrick Dollan told the Glasgow Herald that “it is the most cock eyed judgement I have ever read” and “I hope the Government and Police who have the final say in this matter, will correct a judgement which is more like Nazi philosophy than British fair play and see that both clubs are treated alike.”
It references bottle throwing but nothing about Nazi salutes etc.
mate that’s not true I seen an article on here few years ago

I wasnt aware i just thought that they were "Irish" Going from the Falls to Newry imo would not be a good idea although it was not as "bitter" just post '45Several listed as Irishmen had Irish parents but were not born and had not lived in Ireland. At least one born in Ireland to parents stationed there with the Forces.
James Magennis had to move his family from the Falls Road because of the abuse he and they took for serving in the Royal Navy.
Reporting restrictions and censorship would have applied.
Goebbels would have a field day if he knew there was thousands of people who despised Britain living in Scotland!
Magennis [first name?] won his on a midget sub in an incredible feat of bravery and endurance. Forced to quit Belfast after the war.That was correct however 8 "Irishmen" won VC's in WWII,....7 from the South and the 8th was from the Falls Rd

Contemporary newspaper reports refer to bottle-throwing and general hooliganism. There is nothing about pro-German chants.
I was at a game at the piggery at the time of the Falklands war and they were definitely chanting 'Argentina '. Every chance there would have been chants in support of Germany.Due to the level of censorship at the time, there is no way a newspaper would be allowed to report an outbreak of support for the enemy.
The ‘pro German’ accusation comes from Rangers fans who were at the game.

Does anyone have the newspaper cutting from then that shows Celtic fans chanting nazi slogans, leading to the stadium being closed?
Was it not the "yellow ferry"?My old man told me about the “yellow convoys” at that time, when thousands of mentally challengeds fled to the ROI to avoid conscription.
I doubt it was Nazi Slogans.
6th, Sept, 1941 and the filth went tonto at Ibrox.
They flew ira/eire tricolours, which quite rightly were identified as pro Nazi paraphernalia at the time.
Sturgeon and various other filth would clap their hands these days in admiration.
SNP has leaders who supported Hitler at the time.
Supporting Nazis, Argentina, Islamic sects fighting UK troops, IRA terrorists. I am beginning to think they dont like us.I was at a game at the piggery at the time of the Falklands war and they were definitely chanting 'Argentina '. Every chance there would have been chants in support of Germany.
