There had been some confusion over how many fans would be present in the away section after around 2,500 Rangers fans were allowed into Celtic Park back in March, leading to speculation that a similar number could make the trip to Govan this weekend.

However, that figure won’t be matched, with Celtic stating that the allocation for this clash will revert to the standard 5% figure, bringing it to 2,000.

This will be the first time since 2019 that Celtic will have a proper away crowd at Ibrox, and the travelling support will be eager to make their voices heard as the newly crowned champions aim to cap their title-winning season with a statement result in the backyard of their greatest rivals.

Celtic won the first league meeting between the two sides this season, but have failed to win at Ibrox and at Celtic Park twice.

The 2,000 travelling fans will hope that they can cheer on an away win, and end the season on a high.

Celtic have been the most consistent team over the season, but you still want to win the majority of the derbies.
