Celtic have given Buckie Thistle a colossal away ticket allocation for this month’s Scottish Cup tie, according to a report. The sides are due to face off at Parkhead on the 21st of January, and it seems as though the Highlanders will receive some backing from the away end.
As of The Scottish Sun, Celtic have granted Buckie 5,000 away-end tickets for the match. Parkhead won’t have seen an away end as big since Rangers last had their old allocation in 2018.
Whether the Highland League side will be able to fill such a notable number of seats remains to be seen but any supporters who travel down to Glasgow to see their team will experience a memorable day out.
It will be the first time the sides have met, and it is no secret that Celtic are overwhelming favourites. Anything but a win for the Hoops would make for the greatest cup shock of all time, but that is drastically unlikely.
