Tomas Cvancara penalty secured Celtic victory against Rangers in March
Summary

Tomas Cvancara converted the decisive penalty in a shootout to lead Celtic to a Scottish Cup quarter-final win over Rangers at Ibrox on 8 March 2026. The match, which concluded in a shootout victory for the visitors, was marred by a pitch invasion involving supporters from both clubs. The ensuing disorder prompted a full-scale inquiry and resulted in both teams being required to play their next Scottish Cup home fixtures behind closed doors., the incident effectively ended the long-standing practice of providing away supporter ticket allocations for the fixture. Cvancara, who joined Celtic on loan from Borussia Mönchengladbach in January, appeared in 13 matches and scored twice during his time at the club. His role in the match remains a significant reference point regarding the future of away fan attendance at the fixture.
