Celtic and Rangers have been told their next home fixtures in the Scottish Cup must be played behind closed doors following fan disorder last season.
The order applies to each club’s next home tie in the competition, meaning supporters will not be allowed to attend those Scottish Cup matches if the clubs are drawn or scheduled to play at home.
The action follows disorder involving fans during last season, although no further details have been provided in the supplied material about the specific incidents, sanctions process or the authority that issued the order.
Playing behind closed doors is a significant sporting and operational measure for both clubs, removing matchday attendance for the affected cup fixtures and changing the usual atmosphere around home ties.
The latest known position is that Celtic and Rangers are both subject to the order for their next home Scottish Cup matches. No additional response from either club was included in the supplied material.
