Rangers and Celtic are to provide derby ticket allocations of "around 5%" for away supporters from next season.

The Scottish Professional Football League made the announcement "following engagement with both clubs".

The two remaining Premiership meetings in this campaign are not impacted by the agreement and will go ahead without any away fans.

Rangers host Celtic at Ibrox on 7 April and there will be a post-split derby at Celtic Park.

Champions Celtic sit top of the league, with Rangers one point behind and have a game in hand.

Given the size of the respective stadia, roughly 2,500 Celtic fans will visit Ibrox next season, with 3,000 Rangers supporters for games at Celtic Park.

Rangers cut Celtic's allocation in 2018, with their Glasgow rivals immediately responding in kind.

Since then it has fluctuated between about 750 away tickets and zero in a series of tit-for-tat moves.

Prior to 2018, each team took around 7,000 visiting supporters to league derbies.
