Rangers have confirmed they will provide Celtic with 300 tickets for the League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox on 13 September. The most recent meeting between the sides at Ibrox came in the Scottish Cup on 8 March and was marred by fan disorder. Earlier on Friday, the Scottish FA announced both clubs would have to play their next home Scottish Cup games behind closed doors.

About 8,000 Celtic supporters had attended the 8 March match while recent league encounters of the Glasgow clubs had away support in the low thousands. Rangers stated: "Since the clubs last considered away allocations, the Blackbourne Report has been published and our sanction issued."

A reduced allocation allows greater individual ticket-holder accountability, stronger ingress controls, enhanced segregation and additional safeguards appropriate to the risk identified for this fixture. Since 8 March, there have also been further pitch invasions involving Celtic supporters. Rangers has not seen the clear acknowledgement, condemnation or deterrent messaging they believe should follow events of that seriousness from Celtic. Rangers will travel to Celtic Park for a Scottish Premiership fixture on 20 September and the ticketing arrangements for that match are still to be confirmed.
