Much has been made of the ticket allocation process for the cup final. celtic have more briefs than Hibs for the tie because they took around 40k to Hampden Park for the semi-final.
Hibernian struggled to sell their allocation for their game against The Rangers. After dumping the Ibrox club out of the competition – Hibs demanded a 50/50 split for tickets.
We had a statement, countless pundits moaning about it and Jack Ross giving his tuppence worth.
We all know what happened when the media tried to bring Ange into it.
You can watch our recap video below if you haven’t heard the manager’s reaction to the question.
As the dust settles and Celtic still don’t have enough tickets to meet the demand for even their home cup ticket scheme season ticket holders – this picture from the St Johnstone vs Hibs game suns things up.
There an argument for both sides having an equal amount of supporters inside the ground in a cup final day – I get that.
Balance and fairness have to come into things also, and if your away support only turn up for a cup final and loyal supporters from another club miss out – that’s not balanced or fair.
Hibernian have enough allocation to make sure anyone who attended the semi-final can get a ticket and then more on top of that.
