Celtic confirmed earlier today that a second ballot has been held to allocate leftover tickets for the League Cup final against Rangers, ensuring more season ticket holders have a chance to secure their spot at Hampden. Fans fortunate enough to be selected were contacted via email, with tickets going on sale at 2pm on Tuesday afternoon.

As expected, the demand has been high, with the majority of tickets quickly snapped up. However, as of 9pm on Tuesday evening, a small number of seats remain available in the upper tier. These remaining tickets are expected to be claimed swiftly as the purchasing window for second ballot winners closes at 2pm on Thursday.

If you’ve yet to check your email, now’s the time to do so. Missing out on this opportunity would be a blow for supporters desperate to witness the Hoops in action as they take on Rangers for the season’s first silverware.

Celtic’s allocation for the final has been heavily sought after, with only 21,846 made available to the club. After two ballots, the availability is nearing exhaustion, reflecting the excitement and significance surrounding the Glasgow Derby Cup final.

For fans who’ve secured their tickets, it’s now a matter of counting down the days until December 15th. For those still waiting on an opportunity, the prospect of any further tickets being released remains slim. Stay tuned for any updates.

Before the cup final, Celtic still have big matches against Aberdeen, Hibs and a trip to Croatia in the Champions League, but the excitement is building!
