RUMOURS swirling around social media this morning suggest Peter Lawwell is about to REJECT Celtic’s 800 ticket allocation to Ibrox on safety grounds.
The Chief Executive told shareholders at the AGM he would be assessing the situation before making the decision but would only act in the best interest of the Celtic fans.
The Ibrox club cut Celtic’s allocation from 8,000 to just 800 after the last three years of a pure party atmosphere at the Govan ground with Celtic enjoying so much success.
With Celtic fans to be put in just a corner of the ground where there could be a barrage of missiles heading their way from a fanbase who has recent previous of doing so, it has become a safety issue.
However, the Celtic fans who are due a ticket for the game will unlikely welcome this decision if it turns out to be true.
Many fans believe they should be given the option to take up the allocation and the club should not dictate to them.
Below is a flavour of some of the opinions on the matter this morning.

No Celtic fans at Ibrox. Celtic should open Celtic Park and rake it in from a screening. King has played a game that will backfire on him. All rangers fans witnessing Celtic win yet again on their home ground
