How many tickets will Rangers receive for Celtic derby clash?

Rangers supporters will be in full voice at Celtic Park for the upcoming Old Firm derby on March 16, as both Glasgow giants have agreed to allocate a reciprocal percentage of tickets for away fans.

With Celtic Park boasting a capacity of just over 60,000, the segregation for visiting supporters will slightly reduce that number, but Rangers fans will still have a notable presence in Glasgow’s east end.

The two clubs have agreed to offer approximately four per cent of the saleable capacity to away supporters, ensuring Rangers fans can travel across the city to support their team in this highly anticipated clash.

It’s estimated that Rangers could have around 2,400 tickets available to sell.

The agreement will also be in place when Celtic arrive at Ibrox once the post-split fixtures are announced. 

Away supporters have been notably absent from recent derby games due to a series of long-standing issues.

These decisions were largely made to reduce violence and disruption amid security problems, which had marred previous encounters.

While there have been occasional moves to allow away fans back in recent years, the current agreement is a significant step toward restoring the tradition of both sets of supporters being present at derby matches.
