Away fans will not be permitted at the remaining two Premiership clashes between Celtic and Rangers this season.

Talks between the clubs over fan allocations for the matches have concluded with an agreement in place that will see only home supporters allowed in.

Celtic host Michael Beale's men on April 8 with the post-split fixture between the Old Firm rivals set to take place at Ibrox.

Clyde 1 Superscoreboard understands the decision has been made due to concerns over “safety and security”.

The teams will still have an even split for the upcoming Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.

Away allocations have been cut in recent years with around 800 travelling supporters allowed into Celtic Park and Ibrox.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has previously stated he would like to see that number increased.

Last April he said: "When you look at all the derby games around the world, that’s what makes them a little bit special, you obviously get some parochial support from both sides.

“It would be great if we can increase that number over the next few years."
