SPFL appoint sub-committee to settle Celtic v Rangers ticket row
The SPFL has issued a response to the ongoing ticketing dispute involving Celtic ahead of next month’s Glasgow derby against the Ibrox club at Celtic Park…
Following several incidents after the recent Scottish Cup meeting at Ibrox, Celtic have opted not to provide an away allocation for the post-split fixture scheduled for May 10 due to safety concerns that the Union Bears bring, meaning visiting Ibrox supporters are currently set to be absent.
The decision has drawn reactions from both clubs, prompting the SPFL to address the matter publicly.
In a brief statement released on its official website, the SPFL acknowledged the situation and outlined its position after reviewing feedback from Celtic and Rangers.
