Celtic and Rangers have both been ordered to play their next home Scottish Cup match behind closed doors following the crowd trouble that marred last season's quarter-final at Ibrox.
An independent review into Celtic's win in March found that that "crushing" and "life-threatening violence" were narrowly avoided after fans from both teams stormed the pitch.
Dozens of arrests followed clashes between fans on the pitch after Celtic won on penalties. Rangers fans confronted Celtic supporters who had spilled onto the pitch in celebration.
The punishment, which will see both Celtic and Rangers pay their opponents £100,000 in compensation for the loss of gate receipts, will only apply to their next home Scottish Cup fixture.
Rangers will host Celtic in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals on Sunday 13 September, and there is another Old Firm clash scheduled in the Premiership on Sunday 20 September.
