Celtic’s ‘Bhoys’ ultras group have released a definitive statement surrounding the club’s Tynecastle ticket allocation.
Hoops fans received just over 600 briefs for Saturday’s emphatic victory over Hearts, but despite their limited number, the travelling support still made themselves heard as Brendan Rodgers’ men romped to a dominant victory.
It wasn’t a classic first half from the Scottish Premiership champions, who admittedly took a while to get going. Once they got into their groove, however, it was more or less plain sailing.
Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn, and Adam Idah ensured Celtic went three points clear of Aberdeen and 11 ahead of Rangers at the Scottish Premiership’s summit.
None of the ‘Bhoys’ group attended the match, and after it, they took to Instagram, explaining that because of the ongoing debacle surrounding away tickets at Tynecastle, they boycotted the game and instead went to Celtic B’s match against Albion Rovers on Friday night.
They believe that instead of causing ‘unnecessary division’ among Celtic supporters over tickets, the club should refuse such small allocations as the one Hearts gave them at the weekend.
The ‘Bhoys’ released a full statement on Instagram:
As much as the ultras think Celtic should refuse the allocation for Hearts away, it seems illogical that the Jambos give them such a limited number anyway when they can’t fill their own stands.
Surely, the capital club would want as many football fans as possible in the ground on a Saturday night, which would, in turn, make them more money. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
