  • 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.

The reduction in ticket allocations serves as a direct consequence aimed at deterring such behavior in future events.
