- Celtic and Rangers away fans have been banned from attending Old Firm matches in the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup for the remainder of the 2026/27 season.
- The temporary restriction follows an independent review into last season's Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox, which found that life-threatening violence was narrowly avoided.
- The decision by the SPFL was triggered after Celtic rejected a proposal from Rangers to reduce the away fan allocation for their upcoming Scottish League Cup tie.
- The SPFL stated the temporary ban will allow both clubs, Police Scotland, and relevant stakeholders time to implement safety recommendations and plan future fixtures effectively.
- The agreement on away supporter bans will remain subject to review should circumstances materially change during the season.
