Topic: Ibrox and Celtic Park Closed
1. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Fri 28th Aug 2026. 12:36 Both Celtic and Rangers to play their next home Scottish cup tie behind closed doirs. Reply

3. Author: parsmad68 Date: Fri 28th Aug 2026. 12:46 I think that is slightly unfair on the visiting clubs as the revenue receipts would have exceeded that £100000 for the tie, but whilst slightly unfair, it is probably the best we could have hoped for from our game. Reply
4. Author: Jeffery Date: Fri 28th Aug 2026. 12:48 I hope they are drawn away repeatedly and have to play an important one, later in the competition, behind closed doors. Unfortunately this will probably end up screwing over a wee team who will lose out on a big pay day. Reply

It would be on the net profit rather than gross revenue number, surely. But even on that basis it feels low. Reply

Corrupt as feck It’s nearer 10 I think back to a cup quarter final away to Hibs in 2024. We’re on a bit of a home run in the major cups ourselves, (we played QOTS away in the Challenge cup late last year). Ross Co, Aberdeen, Kelty, Hibs and QOTS is 5 home drawn ties in a row in the two major cup competitions. Reply

Corrupt as feck I`m certainly no Rangers fan, but chance has no memory, Aaron. Each time a draw is made, there`s a 50/50 chance of being drawn at home or away. How a team was drawn in the previous round is totally irrelevant. It`s a bit like a couple who have had multiple children of the same gender trying for another baby and expecting to finally get one of the opposite sex. There`s no guarantee. 😀 Not your average Sunday League player. Reply

Speechless 😶 They should have their fine increased for putting such a statement out. Arrogance of the highest order! Reply
13. Author: ParfectXI Date: Fri 28th Aug 2026. 17:58 It would have been far more appropriate and hard hitting if the behind closed doors game was the next cup game they play each other unless it’s an SF! The only reason I’m saying the SF should be allowed to go ahead with fans is that the gate receipts get split 4 ways! I think it’s very unfair that smaller clubs suffer for these 2 sets of “fans”. For instance Morton are really struggling to keep afloat and a game against Celtic at Parkhead could bring in £350-£400k which would very possibly keep them afloat, now they’d get £100k which would probably not be enough!

14. Author: veteraneastender Date: Fri 28th Aug 2026. 22:58 So - if Rangers are drawn away to Celtic in the "first" round of the cup they get £100 grand from the Parkhead biscuit tin - or vice versa if it pans out that way ? Reply
