Dundee United are reportedly set to 'stand firm' in their desire to charge supporters £42 to attend next Saturday's game against Celtic at Tannadice.
It comes after the Parkhead side released a statement on Friday evening, outlining their 'concerns' over the pricing.

It read: "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."
United have since responded, and are prepared to 'vociferously argue their position', because they believe the price hike is needed due to increased stewarding and policing costs, claims The Courier.
Although the Tannadice outfit are also charging their own fans £42 to watch the game, £10 tickets are available if season ticket holders bring a friend. Celtic reportedly believe that this represents a potential breach of SPFL regulations.
Rule I31 states that clubs are 'prohibited from charging higher admission prices to accommodation designated for supporters of the visiting club than for broadly comparable accommodation designated for use by supporters of the home club at the same match'.
United chiefs, though, are said to think that Celtic's argument holds little merit, given ticket prices are the same for fans of both clubs.
Indeed, offers such as the £10 bring a friend deal have never previously breached rule I31.
Celtic could win the league in the city of discovery next weekend if they avoid defeat against Jim Goodwin's men.
