Independent review criticizes Rangers and Celtic for Ibrox disorder

An independent review on crowd disorder during the Old Firm Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox in March has intensified scrutiny on Rangers and Celtic. The 37-page report, which took four months to complete, accuses both clubs and governing bodies of failing to control fan behavior, warning that incidents nearly escalated into violence. It details a chaotic pitch invasion by Celtic fans after their penalty shootout victory, followed by a hostile counteraction from Rangers supporters. The findings call for stricter sanctions, potentially limiting crowd numbers as a first response to misconduct. The Scottish FA faces pressure to enforce a zero-tolerance policy to address unacceptable fan conduct.
