Celtic and Rangers charged by SFA over trouble after Scottish Cup game at Ibrox

Celtic and Rangers have been hit with disciplinary charges over the trouble that followed their Scottish Gas Scottish Cup clash at Ibrox.

The Scottish Football Association has issued identical notices of complaints to both clubs as it published the independent review into the game.

Both are accused of breaching the SFA’s rule 37, which centres on “good order and security” and “unacceptable conduct”.

The rule covers “policies and procedures” and whether clubs take appropriate measures to identify and deal with supporters who engage in unacceptable conduct.

The clubs face hearings on August 13.

There were clashes on the pitch after Celtic won a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-final encounter on March 8.

Some visiting fans spilled onto the playing surface to celebrate after the winning spot-kick and more than 100 supporters from the Rangers end charged towards them with fireworks thrown back and forth.

At least 37 people have been arrested over the trouble, which saw police and stewards injured.
