James Bisgrove reveals maximum Celtic attendance for Ibrox next season as Rangers set for talks

James Bisgrove says there will be a "maximum" of 800 Celtic fans at Ibrox for the derbies next season.

There has been much debate over away attendances at Ibrox and Celtic Park and the already-drastically reduced away capacity was removed altogether for the final two Premiership games this season. Record Sport understands Celtic wanted a return to sizeable visiting crowds of 7,000+ but Rangers refused to hand the Broomloan Stand back to the Hoops.

Speaking at his press conference, incoming CEO Bisgrove fielded a question over the likely away crowds for the Old Firm games at Ibrox next season. And while he confirmed talks will take place with Police Scotland and rivals Celtic over returning visiting fans to the derby, he revealed 800 will be the "maximum" number for 2023/24. Bisgrove also told fans to expect some "exciting" signing news soon as Michael Beale gears up for a summer rebuild.
