US EditionCeltic plan to 'lock Rangers ultras out' of final Old Firm clash of the season
Celtic says a detailed risk assessment found 2,200 away tickets should be withheld after March pitch invasions and assaults involving supporters, staff and stewards.
- Celtic will withhold the 2200 away tickets for the May 10 Old Firm match at Celtic Park, demanding Rangers exclude the Union Bears ultras group following safety concerns.
- This decision follows chaotic scenes during the Scottish Cup clash at Ibrox, where pitch invasions involving the Union Bears resulted in injuries to staff and stewards.
- Rangers rejected these conditions, arguing that punishment should target individuals rather than implementing an en masse ban, and subsequently referred the matter to the SPFL Board.
- An SPFL spokesperson said the board will appoint a sub-committee to consider the dispute under SPFL Rule I27, which requires clubs to provide a "reasonable number" of visiting tickets.
- Celtic reacted with "surprise and disappointment" to Rangers' rejection as The SFA appointed FIFA match commissioner Mark Blackbourne to lead an independent review of the disorder.
