As restriction levels remain volatile across the UK and the 2 January date means colder weather and potentially tighter restrictions, there was no guarantee of an away crowd and therefore, Rangers will not allow Celtic fans at the game today (29 August).

When is the next Old Firm?

The next Old Firm will be played on 2 January 2022, at Celtic’s Parkhead stadium.
