Celtic and Rangers will play their Scottish Premiership and Premier Sports Cup matches without away supporters for the entire upcoming season. This decision comes after an agreement was reached between the two clubs, signaling a significant shift in how these high-profile fixtures will be managed.
The move is widely understood to be a measure aimed at enhancing safety and managing crowd control at these intense derby matches. By restricting attendance to home fans only, organizers hope to mitigate potential issues and ensure a more secure environment for all involved.
