There will be NO away fans present at Celtic Park or Ibrox for the remaining Old Firm derbies of the season.
There are two remaining Old Firm league derby games with Celtic hosting their rivals on April 8 before an inevitable fixture in the split to come. The two will also go head-to-head at Hampden Park in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
Previously the two Glasgow clubs had been at odds over allocation when in 2019 Rangers cut the number of briefs available to Celtic fans who were previously housed in their numbers in the Broomloan stand. Since, the Hoops contingent has been reduced to around 800 fans at Ibrox.

Last season Ange Postecoglou's men hammered their rivals 3-0 in a title turning point and there were no Rangers fans present inside Celtic Park. Rangers had previously rescinded their offer of around 700 briefs for a clash in the Southside of Glasgow in 2021.
Reports suggest both clubs agreed on the decision to have no away fans present at the remaining two games. It comes amid concerns from both clubs over “safety and security”. It's being claimed that Parkhead and Ibrox chiefs are in discussions over future allocations but that the decision had been made over the remaining two league clashes.
There will, of course, be a 50/50 split at the national stadium on April 30 for the Scottish Cup semi-final, as Michael Beale hopes to retain the trophy Rangers last won while Postecoglou searches for a domestic treble.
