Celtic fans give Rangers reminder of source of ticket bickering as Ibrox legions see one advantage of lockout - Hotline

20.12.2023 - 12:57 dailyrecord.co.uk

The Celtic Park ticket allocation for Rangers' visit on December 30 was the hottest topic and it's no great surprise that both halves of the divide were on opposite sides of the argument. Eddie Easson, Ballingry, Fife, said: "Let’s not forget where the slashed ticket allocation started.

Dave King’s greed for more money from the supporters. Let’s not forget the missile throwing incident at Ibrox when fans were pelted and a backroom member was seriously hurt.

If Rangers want to come to Celtic Park then get back to the way it was." Stuart McLeod, Stepps, countered with: "After the ticket allocation decision and Celtic denying visiting fans entry shows us all who really calls the shots in Scottish football.

The smaller allocation suits the Rangers fans as it means less people in restricted view seats with coins and condoms full of urine raining down on them.

Rangers injury tracker for Celtic with Goldson and Lundstram timeline named as Philippe Clement 'avoids' one thing

Connor Goldson and John Lundstram are poised to be pitched into the Old Firm frenzy after coming through Rangers final training session ahead of their trip to Parkhead at lunchtime. And while Gers boss Philippe Clement refused to confirm they would both start - insisting he’d wait to see if there was an reaction to being put their paces - the availability of the experienced defender and midfielder would be a massive boost as his team faces the prospect of taking on the league leaders and 60,000 of their fans with no backing of their own. Clement said: “Connor trained, so we will assess tomorrow what to do with that. He did train. I will make my decisions tomorrow after watching back the training and after speaking with the doc and the medical staff. “Lunny trained, so we will see. I don’t want to say now that ‘yes, there’s a chance’ and then tomorrow he’s not in the selection – and people will say he was playing games. That I want to avoid. I don’t like to play games and to say that somebody is in and then this afternoon he feels a reaction from the training and we are not going to make a stupid risk and lose players for the rest of the season. It is better to make this assessment tomorrow and then it is clear.”
