Hibernian have confirmed they’ve sold 6,000 of their 7,000-ticket allocation for the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Celtic Park. The visitors are set to bring one of the biggest away supports the stadium has seen in years, adding to the sense that this is no routine home cup tie for Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers’ side will be well aware of the threat posed by Hibs, who arrive in Glasgow in red-hot form. Just two weeks ago, they inflicted a frustrating 2-1 defeat on Celtic at Easter Road, and they’ll be full of confidence heading into this one. With Hibs’ fans making plenty of noise in the away end, it’s crucial the home crowd respond in kind to drown them out.
For Celtic supporters without a ticket, there’s still a chance to be part of the occasion. Tickets for the match will go on sale to home fans on Wednesday morning at 10 am, giving more fans the opportunity to pack out Celtic Park and make their voices heard.
On the pitch, Celtic will look to key men like Daizen Maeda, who is enjoying his best season at the club, to lead the charge. With players like Alistair Johnston, Arne Engels and our captain Callum McGregor behind him.
With a semi-final spot on the line and a fired-up Hibs side coming to town, this one has a real big-game feel. Celtic will need their fans in full voice to ensure there’s no repeat of the Easter Road result. Let’s get behind the Bhoys and take another massive step to the treble.
