Overview
- An independent SPFL sub-committee said it would not overrule the home club’s risk assessment and confirmed that a five percent away allocation meets league rules for the Celtic v Rangers match.
- Celtic withheld roughly 2,200 tickets unless Rangers agreed not to distribute any to the Union Bears, the ultras group linked to recent disorder, which Rangers refused before taking the dispute to the league.
- The Union Bears urged Rangers to accept Celtic’s condition so that a full away section can attend, calling the group’s exclusion an attack on fan culture.
- The SPFL said the current 14‑day window for referrals is too short and is considering shifting the deadline to 35 days at the June AGM to allow fuller reviews of high‑risk fixtures.
- The Scottish FA’s separate review into the March 8 cup tie disorder has not been published, leaving clubs without new guidance on managing supporter conduct for this fixture.
