‘Scandalous’, ‘Nonsense’ – Many Celtic Fans Unhappy Over Perceived Double Standard

Celtic have only been given an allowance of 9000 fans for their game against Midtjylland on Tuesday after requesting double from the Scottish government.

Hampden has a smaller capacity and housed more fans during the Euros. Murrayfield has a similar capacity and was afforded 16k by the government.

One fan points out Aberdeen have been given 27% of their capacity for their game next week while Celtic only get 14%.

Celtic SLO confirmed the club wanted more but there’s nothing they can do.

Scotland goes to level 0 on Monday which means things relax even more. Celtic fans are upset the government are choosing to be cautious when it comes to club football after a summer of allowing bigger crowds elsewhere.

Here are some of the typical reactions on social media this afternoon:

 

Any fans in the ground is great to see but there was a potential for more to get in safely. We can only hope that restrictions ease of on August 9th as currently planned where we could see a next to full Celtic Park once again.
