Constance reportedly wanted the meeting to take place before the match this Sunday at Celtic Park the first league meeting this season with both sets of supporters in the stadium but it has not been arranged.
An agreement between Celtic and Rangers has led to an arrangement where the away team will get a 4% allocation meaning there will be 2500 Rangers fans inside Celtic Park.
She told Police Scotland Chief Constable, Jo Farrell, at a meeting on January 16 her officials were working on setting up the meeting.
However, The Scottish Daily Express reported both Police Scotland and the Scottish Government have confirmed that no such event has taken place.
Following the scenes in Glasgow in December, Angela Constance and Jo Farrell “committed to a roundtable with all key stakeholders, including football clubs and local authorities, to explore how can work together to tackle disorder and the use of pyrotechnics inside and outside of football grounds”.
