Celtic, Rangers and Motherwell have all been sanctioned by the Scottish Professional Football League after being found to have breached rules following use of pyrotechnics by their supporters in last year's Premier Sports Cup semi-finals and final.
The article discusses the repercussions faced by Celtic and Rangers fans following the use of pyrotechnics during the Premier Sports Cup final at Hampden Park. Due to the deployment of flares and other pyrotechnics, which led to significant safety concerns and damage, the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has decided to reduce the number of tickets allocated to both clubs for future finals. This decision was made in response to the chaos caused by fans, including the need for stewards to intervene and the disruption of the match itself. The SPFL emphasized the importance of fan behavior and safety, stating that such actions could lead to further sanctions or even the possibility of matches being played behind closed doors if similar incidents occur. The reduction in ticket allocations serves as a direct consequence aimed at deterring such behavior in future events.
