Talks progressing for away fans’ return to Celtic vs Rangers showdown

Away supporters could be back at Celtic Park for the highly anticipated derby between Celtic and Rangers on March 16, with discussions between both clubs reportedly nearing an agreement.

For the first time in over two years, away fans may have the chance to attend one of Scottish football’s biggest fixtures, as talks continue regarding ticket allocations.

It is understood that Rangers are set to receive between 2,500 and 3,000 tickets for the trip to the east end of Glasgow, provided there are no last-minute changes.

This figure aligns with the five per cent allocation agreement reached between both clubs and the SPFL last year, which aimed to end the absence of visiting supporters.

While ticket allocations have yet to be officially confirmed, reports indicate that fan groups from both sides have been informed that a deal is close.

Should the agreement be finalised, it would mark a significant development in the efforts to restore away allocations in one of football’s most intense rivalries.
