Rangers and Celtic charged by SFA Ibrox incident

The Scottish Football Association has charged Rangers and Celtic with Disciplinary Rule 37, citing breaches of good order, security, and unacceptable conduct after their Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox, where pitch invasions and fireworks incidents followed Celtic’s penalty shoot-out win. An independent review published alongside the charges documented extensive disorder, leading to numerous recommendations on event organisation, planning, and enforcement. The report notes at least 37 people were arrested and that police and stewards were injured amid the post-match chaos. The independent review, led by Mark Blackbourne, included 30 unique recommendations and was released after the Hampden inquiry into what occurred. Both clubs face disciplinary hearings, with dates set for August 16, as authorities scrutinise whether policies and procedures were properly implemented to prevent such incidents.
