Published 19 minutes ago There will be no away supporters for Celtic and Rangers derbies in the Scottish Premiership or Premier Sports Cup this season.
The "temporary arrangement" was reached following talks between the Glasgow clubs and the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL).
It follows the Scottish FA's independent review into events surrounding last term's Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox, which was marred by unrest and pitch incursions from both sets of fans.
Rangers host Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup on 13 September, with the city rivals meeting at Celtic Park in the league a week later.
Rangers had proposed a reduced away allocation of 300 for the impending cup tie, with Celtic rejecting the offer.
The crowd disorder on 8 March came after a penalty shootout win for Celtic, when around 8,000 visiting supporters had been present.
That figure was much larger than recent Old Firm league derbies, with ticketing rules different for the Scottish Cup.
The Scottish FA announced last month that both clubs would have to play their next Scottish Cup home games behind closed doors.
Announcing the measures, a statement from the SPFL said: "This temporary arrangement will allow both clubs, together with the SPFL, Police Scotland and other relevant stakeholders, to give proper consideration to the findings and recommendations of the independent review, take forward the necessary actions and ensure sufficient time is available to plan future fixtures thoroughly.
"It will also provide greater certainty for supporters and those involved in matchday planning, while avoiding repeated uncertainty around ticketing arrangements for individual fixtures.
"All parties have committed to working constructively during this period, with safety and security remaining the priority." More to follow.
