Alan Brazil reacts as Ray Parlour shares what will happen after full-time Ibrox scenes in Rangers vs Celtic

Alan Brazil and Ray Parlour both feel like Rangers and Celtic fans have let themselves down following the full-time Ibrox scenes on Sunday.

Rangers were beaten on penalties after extra time in the Quarter-final of the Scottish Cup by their Old Firm rivals.

What was to follow after the full-time whistle will go down in the history books for the historic fixture, but not for the right reasons, as fans from both sides invaded the pitch with aggressive intentions.

Rangers will need to bounce back following the defeat, but as far as Old Firm fan allocations go, that could be that for travelling supporters at both Celtic Park and Ibrox.

Ray Parlour claims Old Firm fan control will change again

The Scottish FA could investigate the incident at Ibrox over multiple issues, from stadium security to disorderly fan behaviour, with potential fines and bans awaiting some Rangers and Celtic fans.

It was the first time that the Broomloan Stand had been fully opened up for Celtic fans for the first time since 2018, but, likely, this will never happen again now.

• Rangers and Celtic reached an agreement that Old Firm fixtures would have no fan allocation for games in January last year and September of 2024
• After those fixtures, they agreed to give a 5% allocation to away fans for future matches
• The Gers agreed to give Celtic fans a 7,000-plus allocation for this game, and it backfired

While speaking on talkSPORT, Parlour suggested that it may now revert to a much smaller away fan allocation in Old Firm matches, if any, as Brazil had his say.

Parlour said: "It's a shame. We know the rivalry between both clubs, and it is the biggest rivalry in British football, I imagine. 

"You know the hatred, but it's great to see the away fans get the opportunity to go and watch their team, but it's going to change [again] now. It's hard because it's an emotional game."

Brazil also replied: "It's going to kill it now."

Given Rangers and Celtic's previous history of tit-for-tat disputes over away fan control, it would be no surprise to see another significant change in the near future.

Why Celtic may come off worse in legal punishment

Not only could Rangers and Celtic fans be punished, but the clubs may also face fines for different reasons, though it's not guaranteed.

More so for the Hoops, however, as images from the Broomloan stand show the damage that the travelling supporters inflicted on Ibrox's historic South stand.

Pictures circulating on X have shown that multiple seats in the Broomloan end have been destroyed by Celtic fans, as well as damage to the restrooms and abusive graffiti also present in certain areas.

As the police may have no way to identify the specific individuals who have done this, it could be that Celtic as a whole is charged on the basis of what their own supporters have done this past weekend.

A sorry state of affairs, that in hindsight, actually always seemed likely to happen given the hatred in the rivalry.
