The Scottish Government rejected a bid to allow 10,000 Rangers fans inside Ibrox to witness Saturday’s trophy presentation.
The proposal would also have seen four more title parties held in the days after, each hosting another 10,000 season-ticket holders.
Rangers said their plan was designed to “minimise the risk of crowds gathering outside the stadium”.
But the “concession” on the Level 3 ban on crowds was denied.
On the day, an estimated 15,000 fans choose to descend on Ibrox and Glasgow’s George Square, with 28 arrests and the promise of more to come from Police Scotland after ugly scenes of disorder.

On Friday, it was announced that Glasgow was to stay at Level due to a spike in coronavirus cases.
