Rangers and Celtic have been issued with identical notices of complaints by the Scottish Football Association following the unrest that occurred after their Scottish Cup quarter-final tie at Ibrox on March 8. Both clubs are accused of breaching SFA rule 37, which pertains to "good order and security" and "unacceptable conduct," concerning their "policies and procedures" and the measures taken to identify and manage supporters engaging in such behavior. The clubs are scheduled to face hearings on August 13.

The incident saw clashes on the pitch after Celtic's victory via a penalty shoot-out. Visiting fans entered the playing surface to celebrate, prompting home supporters to attempt to confront them, while fireworks were exchanged. The trouble led to at least 37 arrests and injuries to police officers and stewards.

An independent review of the events described them as a "near miss," stating that the scenes "came within a very small margin of becoming a violent mass confrontation." The review highlighted the disproportionate influence of "Ultra groups" and criticized the lack of independent scrutiny of operational plans for high-risk matches. It also suggested that the current sanctions framework inadequately holds clubs accountable, advocating for stronger measures such as stadium closures. SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell stated a commitment to working with stakeholders to prevent a recurrence of the events that tarnished the sport's image.
