No Away Fans at Old Firm Matches for Rest of the Season, Says SPFL
The temporary move follows unrest at an Old Firm Scottish Cup quarter-final and applies while the SPFL reviews safety recommendations.
- On Friday, the SPFL confirmed that no away supporters will attend Rangers and Celtic matches for the remainder of the 2026/27 season across all SPFL competitions.
- The decision follows the Independent Review into the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox on March 8, which was marred by pitch incursions and unrest from both sets of fans.
- Rangers had initially cut the away allocation to 300 tickets for the Premier Sports Cup tie, down from the previously agreed 2,500 seats, prompting Celtic to seek an SPFL determination.
- The SPFL, Police Scotland, and both clubs agreed to the temporary arrangement, with all parties "committed" to planning future fixtures thoroughly while prioritizing safety.
- This ban does not apply to Scottish Cup ties, governed by the SFA, though arrangements for matches beyond the current season will be considered well in advance of the 2027/28 season.
