Celtic and Rangers are ordered to play their next home Scottish Cup match behind closed doors after trouble during last season’s Old Firm quarter-final clash at Ibrox. The match is reported to have ended with unsavoury scenes involving fans, including incidents on the pitch.
Multiple outlets report that the misconduct leads to stadium bans for both clubs, affecting how supporters can attend the next home game. The Mirror describes “ugly scenes” and notes that the disciplinary action takes the form of a closed-door fixture. Sky News similarly states that Celtic and Rangers are both issued restrictions for their next home Scottish Cup match as a result of the fan clashes that marred the tie.
While the outlets agree on the core outcome—closed-door action for the clubs—their coverage emphasizes different aspects of the incident, with one focusing more on the on-pitch scenes and the other on the specific consequence for the upcoming match.
