Ticket arrangements for Rangers-Celtic League Cup clash remain uncertain
Summary

Rangers and Celtic are set to meet at Ibrox for the League Cup quarter-finals, but ticketing arrangements are still not confirmed. Following recent unrest during their last encounter, safety and security measures are under scrutiny. According to regulations, Rangers could be obligated to provide only 50 tickets to Celtic, consisting of 10 for the directors' box and 40 for the stand. However, customary practices suggest that Celtic might receive around 2,500 tickets for the match, similar to previous league encounters. The clubs are expected to negotiate the final number of tickets offered to visiting fans before the match date.
