Celtic have a perfect record in Glasgow derbies this season. The Hoops defeated their city rivals by a goal to nil at Ibrox in September before securing a vital 2-1 win at the end of last month.
In both of those games, however, there have been no away at fans in Govan nor Glasgow’s east end. That could be set to change.
According to The Times, Celtic have opened talks with their arch-rivals about the possibility of having 750 fans inside Ibrox for the trip on April 6th. A similar number would then be granted to Rangers for their visit to Parkhead post-split.
It is said that SPFL encouraged the clubs to try and settle the debacle because there have been no away fans at any league Glasgow derby in over a year. The last four have had only home supporters present.
There will be rightful concerns over safety with a 750 allocation, particularly for Celtic fans at Ibrox, and this is something the club have outlined previously. Due to this, it remains to be seen whether the clubs will come to an agreement, but if this is one step closer to old derby allocations, then all the better.
