–
Neutral summary
The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has announced that no away fans will be allowed at Old Firm matches between Celtic and Rangers in the Premiership and League Cup for the rest of the season. The decision follows disorder and a mass pitch invasion during a Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox on March 8, when Celtic were given around 8,000 tickets. Rangers had reduced the away allocation from about 2,500 to 300 for the League Cup tie on September 13, prompting a challenge from Celtic.
