Barry Ferguson is pleased Celtic and Rangers have thrashed out a deal to end the away fan lockout at derby matches - but has admitted he wishes there would be more visiting supporters.
The interim head coach at Ibrox will be backed by a travelling support for the next derby match at Celtic Park in March.
An agreement between the clubs will see four percent of the capacity handed over as an away allocation for the remaining derby matches this season.
On the return of away fans ahead of Rangers' trip to Parkhead next month, Ferguson said: "Good to hear our fans will be at Celtic Park - it is something the fixture has missed.
"In an ideal world, there would be more, but I'm just glad our fans will be in the stadium."

A Celtic statement confirmed: "We can confirm that following the previous SPFL determination from last year and with necessary requirements being addressed, away supporters will be present at the next two Glasgow derby matches this season at Celtic Park (March 16) and Ibrox.
"Allocations will be around 4% of saleable capacity at both stadia.
"Further ticket information will be provided in due course."
A Rangers statement read: "Rangers supporters will be able to attend our match with Celtic on March 16, with the two clubs agreeing for a reciprocal percentage of tickets to be allocated to away fans.
"Approximately four per-cent of saleable capacity at both stadia will be given to the visiting club, with everyone at Rangers looking forward to having the backing of our supporters in the East End of Glasgow in just over a fortnight’s time. The arrangement will then be repeated for the Old Firm derby at Ibrox following the split.
"Specific ticketing information will be communicated to eligible supporters in due course."
