Historic sanctions for Celtic and Rangers due to Derby
The Scottish Football Association announced that the upcoming matches between Celtic and Rangers in the Scottish Cup will be played behind closed doors, due to clashes between fans that occurred in March 2026 at Ibrox Stadium following Celtic’s 4-2 penalty shootout victory. Each club has also been fined £100,000, with the possibility of stadium closures to fans for another match if disturbances recur before the end of the 2027-2028 season. Celtic expressed their disapproval of the penalty, deeming it disproportionate, and stated they are currently reviewing their next steps. The club also commented that it was not responsible for stadium security during that match, citing failures that led to a lack of strict measures by the governing body.
