The penalties concern the disorder that followed Celtic’s shootout win in March, during which fans launched fireworks and other objects, police officers sustained injuries and several people were arrested.
Representatives from both clubs appeared before an independent judicial panel after charges were brought under Scottish FA disciplinary rule 37, which addresses improper behaviour at matches.
An independent assessment released last month found that the disturbance came extremely close to escalating into a large-scale violent clash.
The inquiry, headed by Mark Blackbourne, highlighted shortcomings on the part of both clubs and said the Scottish FA had failed to respond firmly enough to crowd trouble.
The SFA and SPFL have previously imposed financial penalties and occasionally cut ticket allocations for offences including pyrotechnic use, but the strength of the latest punishment indicates a tougher stance.
Although the independent inquiry also directed criticism at the SFA, its findings gave the governing organisation the justification to take stronger action against a problem that continues to grow.
The clubs’ efforts to defend themselves are understandable, but once the immediate reaction fades, the SFA will expect these measures to underline that improper behaviour will no longer be accepted.
