(The Guardian) Away fans to be allowed back into Old Firm derbies
Old Firm away tickets: Celtic and Rangers have finally reached an agreement that will see away fans being allowed to attend Old Firm matches again, ending a dispute between the two clubs that dates back to 2018, when away allocations were cut to around 700 tickets.
Both clubs have now agreed to an allocation of just over 4%, which means approximately 2,400 Rangers fans will get tickets for the Old Firm derby at Celtic Park on 16 March.
“We can confirm that following the previous SPFL determination from last year and with necessary requirements being addressed, away supporters will be present at the next two Glasgow derby matches this season at Celtic Park (March 16) and Ibrox,” said a statement issued by Celtic. “Allocations will be around 4% of saleable capacity at both stadia.”
In their statement Rangers said: “Supporters will be able to attend our match with Celtic on March 16, with the two clubs agreeing for a reciprocal percentage of tickets to be allocated to away fans. The arrangement will then be repeated for the Old Firm derby at Ibrox following the split.”
