Previous INTEGRAL/IBIS observations have shown that the gamma-ray radiation of the Crab Nebula is highly polarised and remarkably aligned along the axis of rotation of the pulsar (Forot et al. 2008). Their study was based on the first four years of operation of the satellite. Here we present an analysis based upon nearly ten years of operation. This new analysis allows a better characterisation of the polarisation fraction and position angle, as well as a measure of spectral energy distribution of the polarised component. These results are then compared to the known optical polarisation of the pulsar and nearby synchrotron knot. In the future we shall compare the gamma-ray polarisation with the phase-resolved optical polarisation using instruments such as GASP (Kyne et al. 2010).
