Celtic get full ticket allocation for Ibrox cup tie against Old Firm rivals Rangers
Celtic will receive around 7,500 tickets for the Broomloan Stand at Ibrox after a compromise between clubs and the Scottish Football Association, restoring the largest away support since 2018.
- On March 8, Celtic will occupy the entire Broomloan Stand at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, for the Scottish Cup quarter-final after clubs agreed full allocation for visiting fans.
- Negotiations between the clubs and the Scottish Football Association focused on avoiding a referral to the SFA compliance officer, with Celtic pushing for a claim up to 20% entitlement.
- The deal gives Celtic around 7,500 places in the Broomloan Stand, according to reports, marking the first full Broomloan Stand use since March 2018 and the largest Old Firm away support in eight years.
- Celtic's bigger away following will amplify the Ibrox atmosphere for the cup tie, boosting Celtic supporters' presence while the winner advances to the semi-final at Hampden with reciprocal future allocations for Rangers.
- The cup tie comes seven days after a league fixture at Ibrox, so the clubs will meet twice at Ibrox in a week, shaped by police and stadium safety laws after allocations rose from around 750 in 2018 to about 7,500 this season.
