Celtic reduced to 300 away tickets for Glasgow Derby amid tensions

Summary

Celtic will receive only 300 tickets for the upcoming Scottish Cup quarter-final against Rangers at Ibrox on March 8, 2026. This decision follows previous crowd disorder and is part of an ongoing tit-for-tat reduction in away tickets between the two clubs. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill criticized the low allocation, suggesting it dilutes the atmosphere of the Glasgow Derby and even proposed rejecting the allocation altogether. Both clubs are also facing home match sanctions behind closed doors due to past incidents. A response from Celtic on whether they will accept the tickets next week is anticipated.
