Incident page covering the reported Old Firm entry crush lead. The fixture is verified, but a reliable source confirming a 2000 entry crush was not found in the uploaded research.
Incident Overview
Fixture verified, crush not verified
Multiple match-reference sources confirm that Celtic v Rangers was played at Celtic Park / Parkhead, Glasgow, on 27 August 2000.
The uploaded research did not find a reliable contemporary source confirming an entry crush at that fixture.
The starting lead appears to point toward a later Celtic v Rangers crowd-crush incident in 2018, not a 2000 incident.

Disputed Details
Conflicting information
The key problem is not a disputed injury count. It is the identity of the incident itself.
The supplied date points to the Celtic v Rangers fixture on 27 August 2000. The accessible crowd-crush lead chain points to the 2018 Celtic Park Old Firm crush.
Match-reference sources verify Celtic v Rangers at Celtic Park on 27 August 2000, but do not verify an entry crush.
Working With Crowds, Evening Standard and Sky Sports material relates to the 2 September 2018 Celtic v Rangers crush, not a 2000 event.
The uploaded research supports a mismatch between the supplied date and the starting lead, rather than a confirmed 2000 crowd incident.
