The Scottish Football Association (Scottish FA) has announced the appointment of Mark Blackbourne as the Independent Lead to investigate the disorder that took place during the Scottish Cup quarter-final match between Celtic and Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on March 8. The match ended with Celtic winning on penalties, but celebrations turned chaotic when some Celtic fans rushed onto the pitch, prompting Rangers supporters to storm the field while throwing flares and missiles. This led to assaults on Celtic players, staff, and police officers. The review will focus on establishing the facts surrounding the events at the stadium and its vicinity, including decisions made before, during, and after the match. The goal is to identify lessons learned and recommend measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Blackbourne, who has extensive experience in sports event management under UEFA and FIFA, will lead the review process, which began with a meeting involving relevant parties, including the clubs and Police Scotland.
