Celtic and Rangers will play their next home ties in the Scottish Cup behind closed doors.
The Scottish FA has issued the punishment following the crowd trouble which marred last season’s quarter-final at Ibrox.
The two Glasgow teams will also have to pay the visiting side for their next home Scottish Cup fixture £100,000.
A second match stadium closure will be triggered if there is any trouble at a Scottish Cup fixture until the end of the 2027/28 season.
It follows their Scottish Cup match at Ibrox in March when fans clashed on the pitch after a penalty shoot-out win for Celtic.
Following the punishment, Celtic said they were “shocked” by the “disproportionate punishment”.
What happened at Ibrox?

Police had to keep Rangers and Celtic fans apart after they ran onto the pitch at Ibrox in March
This was the first Old Firm game at Ibrox since 2018 where Celtic were given the full Broomloan Stand, meaning there were around 7,500 away fans at the game, while some broke into the away end before kick-off too. That figure was enforced to comply with Scottish Cup rules on ticket allocations.
The league match between Rangers and Celtic the previous weekend had around 2,500 away fans after an agreement between clubs to give around five per cent of stadium capacity to away teams for this fixture.
That followed seasons of reduced allocations, or at times no away fans at games.

Spectators ran onto the pitch at Ibrox after Celtic beat Rangers
Celtic progressed to the semi-finals with a 4-2 shoot-out victory over Rangers after the goalless draw at Ibrox, which sparked a pitch invasion from both sets of supporters.
Some visiting fans spilled onto the playing surface to celebrate after the winning spot-kick and supporters from the Rangers end charged towards them with fireworks thrown back and forth.
A total of 43 arrests have now been made after the scenes at Ibrox.
SFA told to get tough
An independent review into the scenes previously concluded that “crushing” and “life-threatening violence” were narrowly avoided.
The report, led by Mark Blackbourne, found: “The Celtic Ultras were the first to enter the pitch in jubilation, with others following their lead.
“In contrast, the Union Bears’ movement onto the track and towards the pitch was reactionary, confrontational, and overtly threatening. In both cases, the proximity of these groups to the playing surface materially increased the likelihood of a mass incursion and contributed to the rapid escalation of disorder.
“The post-match pitch invasion by several hundred Celtic supporters was wholly inexcusable. It provoked an immediate hostile response from sections of the home support, who forced past stewards and police to reach the pitch.”
Key findings of report
Police “petrified” to do another game at Ibrox
Both clubs blamed – Celtic started it, Rangers aggravated it
Fans entering the pitch ‘wholly inexcusable’
Clubs urged to impose higher sanctions as bans ‘ineffective’
Recommends setting ‘pathway to return to full away allocations’
Mr Blackbourne also noted it is “deeply disturbing” that a post-match Glasgow City Council Special SAG meeting recorded that time-served Police Scotland officers were described as “petrified” of policing another match at Ibrox Stadium.
He added: “That word must be read in context, not in isolation, but so qualified, it remains deeply disturbing for Scottish football.
“This reference demands the most serious attention from all parties with responsibility for the governance of safety and security at major football fixtures in Scotland.”
Interviewees independently described the organisational characteristics of certain Ultra groups in terms more commonly associated with organised crime groups in the report.
The report called for incidents linked to Ultra groups to come down with heavier sanctions from the clubs.
Celtic ‘shocked’ by sanctions
Celtic say they are “shocked by this disproportionate punishment for a relatively small incursion by Celtic supporters at a moment of emotion and celebration”.

They added that “another important distinction is that, on this occasion, Celtic were not the home club, responsible for stadium safety arrangements”.
Their statement ends by saying they will “study the panel’s report and reasoning when it is available and will thereafter consider our next steps”.
Rangers reveal ticket allocation for League Cup clash
Meanwhile, Rangers say they will allocate 300 tickets to Celtic for their League Cup match at Ibrox next month.
The Ibrox side say this decision has been made based on the independent report that was commissioned following the Scottish Cup quarter-final in March.
They added that since that fixture “there have also been further pitch invasions involving Celtic supporters”.

A club statement added, “following the recent cup draw, Rangers approached Celtic with proposals aimed at finding a sustainable way forward. Celtic responded eight days later, and that response did not address our concerns around accountability and deterrence. Rangers has not seen the clear acknowledgement, condemnation or deterrent messaging we believe should follow events of that seriousness from Celtic.”
They ended by saying they are aware of the SFA sanction that will see their next home Scottish Cup game played behind closed doors and “will now consider the outcome in full, including its implications, before determining any further steps”.
