CeltsAreHere can reveal Celtic had 750 tickets to the game at Ibrox in their hand for next week ready to put on sale before the rug was pulled out from underneath the club at the last minute.
Celtic fans have been locked out of Ibrox large numbers for a good few years now. Before the pandemic — we were afforded 750 tickets and it looked like the club would get these now that the crowds are beginning to return.
However, our source has confirmed there will be NO Celtic fans at Ibrox next Sunday after The Rangers pulled the tickets.
Decision makers at Ibrox wanted a firm ‘guarantee’ that they would get 750 tickets for Celtic Park in January – the Celtic board couldn’t give an absolute guarantee because of the current situation surrounding the pandemic, but did say if the situation was still the same as now or better they would get their tickets.
It’s our understanding that’s when Celtic’s tickets for next Sunday were pulled and now it will be a stadium of just home fans for the first derby of the season.
Celtic know they’re not dealing with grown ups when it comes to the club across the city and are likely going to withhold any tickets that the Ibrox fans could have got in January.
