Gordon Strachan insists it's a GOOD thing that away fans remain locked out of Rangers and Celtic clashes. It's Brendan Rodgers vs Philippe Clement for the first time ever to round off the 2023 fixture card in the Scottish Premiership but as has been the case in the last few derbies at Ibrox and Celtic Park there will be no away support allowed inside.
That's due to the Glasgow giants still being at odds over ticket allocations for the biggest fixture in the top flight - with the latest round of sparring between the giants coming over safety concerns with Rangers taking their case to the SPFL.
The Ibrox side claimed they won in front of a board subcommittee in a furious statement taking aim at Celtic's decision to continue the lockout.
Celtic would then release a statement standing by the decision and the ban - before stating they hope to welcome away fans in the fixture again next year.
