From the source
Rangers and Celtic will both play their next Scottish Cup home ties behind closed doors after the clubs' respective appeals against the sanction was dismissed.
The Glasgow clubs presented their cases to a Scottish FA appellate tribunal on Monday, but have failed to overturn a ban on supporters. They will also be required to pay £100,000 to the visiting club in their respective home ties in the national cup competition.
However, a suspended ban on fans in the case of further infractions was set aside by the tribunal. The stadium closure penalty was announced in late August following the disorder at the end of last season's quarter-final tie at Ibrox, which Celtic won after a penalty shoot-out.
