Martin O'Neill expressed discontent with the 300 tickets offered to Celtic fans for their upcoming League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox next month. After Celtic's recent 2-1 victory over Falkirk in the Premiership, O'Neill remarked that it might be better if Celtic received no tickets at all, emphasizing the importance of away fans for the atmosphere in such high-profile fixtures. This decision follows sanctions imposed on both Celtic and Rangers by the Scottish FA due to prior crowd disorder. O'Neill is also looking to strengthen the squad ahead of the transfer deadline later this week, citing needs for more depth following Celtic's Champions League exit.
