Celtic raise Dundee United ticket concerns with SPFL

Celtic say they have raised 'a number of concerns' with the SPFL ahead of next week's Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee United.

In the first post-split fixture, the Hoops will have the chance to clinch their fourth-straight league title with a victory at Tannadice.

Anticipation is already building ahead of the game, which will be beamed to TV audiences by Sky Sports, with fans eager to be in situ to watch their heroes officially be crowned champions.

However, supporters have since learned that tickets could cost fans up to an eye-watering £42.

A short club statement reads on Celtic's website: "Following the announcement of ticket arrangements for our forthcoming Scottish Premiership match against Dundee United at Tannadice on Saturday, April 26, we can confirm that we have raised a number of concerns with the SPFL."

Dundee United's pricing structure can be broken down into £42 and £40 for the upper and lower sections, respectively, of the Jerry Kerr Stand. This is the stand where away fans are usually housed in at Tannadice.

With the Hoops set to clinch their 55th league title, though, United have dished out an extra allocation to Celtic fans who meet concession criteria.

So, fans looking to buy tickets for the Jim McLean Stand will be charged £25 in the upper tiers, and £33 in the lower section.

In contrast, in the home sections, United have announced a deal where season-ticket holders can take a friend for just a tenner.
