Scottish But a deal was only struck after Ibrox chiefs were warned they were running the risk of having to hand over a bumper 10,000-seat allocation to their Old Firm foes.

Scottish Cup rules for the competition insist away teams are entitled to claim up to 20 percent of the home side's stadium.

That would have entitled Celtic to ask for a huge slice of Ibrox's 50,000 capacity.
