What will ticket arrangements be for Rangers v Celtic?
A few months on from disorder at their last cup meeting at Ibrox, Rangers and Celtic are scheduled to meet at the same venue but the ticketing arrangements are still to be confirmed. BBC Scotland assesses the likely outcome.
The Scottish League Cup quarter-final draw has raised questions about ticket arrangements for the Rangers vs Celtic match. According to the Scottish Professional Football League Cup Competition Regulations, Rangers are only required to provide 50 tickets to Celtic - 10 for the directors' box and 40 for the visiting stand. However, in practice, clubs often allocate a more reasonable number of visiting supporters based on a percentage of their own grounds.
For the past few years, this has been around 5% of the respective grounds, resulting in approximately 2,500 away fans at Old Firm games. It is highly likely that Celtic will receive a similar allocation as they face Rangers in the quarter-finals. The previous incident of violent disturbances at Ibrox in March's Scottish Cup match has led to both clubs facing charges and an independent inquiry.
As the match is scheduled for September 12, supporters will know the ticket arrangements shortly, likely within a day or two of the fixture being decided based on the live broadcast schedule.
