Raith Rovers’ away allocation boosted ahead of Celtic Scottish Cup tie

Raith Rovers fans will be out in force at Parkhead this Saturday night as they take on Celtic in what promises to be an exciting Scottish Cup fifth round encounter.

With the initial batch of away tickets nearly sold out, Celtic has increased Raith’s allocation by an additional 299, bringing the total to 2,549 tickets for the away supporters.

The Scottish Championship club is urging fans to act fast to secure the last remaining tickets, available for purchase between 10am and 4pm this week, either by phone or in person.

As they prepare for the tough challenge against the competition holders and Scottish Premiership leaders, Raith will be looking to spring an upset and make their presence felt in front of a passionate and sizeable away following.

Barry Robson's side currently sit seventh in the second-tier, and were beaten by Dunfermline Athletic in the Fife derby last time out.
