Celtic and Rangers have been issued a disciplinary sanction requiring both clubs to host their next home Scottish Cup fixtures behind closed doors. The decision follows an investigation into fan behavior during the previous season, where incidents of disorder were reported.

While both BBC Sport and Sky Sports confirm the penalty, neither outlet provided specific details regarding the nature of the disorder or the exact date of the matches affected. The ruling effectively bars supporters from attending these specific cup ties, a measure typically reserved for serious breaches of stadium safety or conduct regulations. The clubs have not yet issued formal statements regarding potential appeals or the specific matches impacted by the ruling. The lack of granular detail in the initial reporting leaves the timeline for these matches and the specific incidents that triggered the punishment unclear to the public.
