Celtic will shut the Parkhead standing section on the back of last week’s Old Firm fireworks.
Hoops chiefs have been fending off pressure from Glasgow City council chiefs and Police in the wake of the pyro show during the thumping win against Rangers.
Record Sport understands the corner section – which houses the controversial Green Brigade fans group – is to be closed for Sunday’s Scottish Cup clash with Raith Rovers and fans offered tickets for other parts of the ground.
The club are under strict instructions from authorities after being granted special permission for the safe standing area and it is constantly under review.
Celtic are also anxious to avoid similar scenes in next week’s Europa Conference League clash with Bodo/Glimt – with UEFA clamping down on the use of pyrotechnics.
The Hoops have already suffered numerous punishments at the hands of the continent's bigwigs over fans behaviour, with previous fines dished out for fireworks and the use of political banners.
Celts fear they are treading a fine line with the authorities – who could order the partial closure of the stadium if the rule breaches continue.
