There will be no away fans at the first two Old Firm league matches this season.
Celtic and Rangers had agreed a five per cent allocation for visiting supporters would return this season - provided necessary requirements were met at both stadiums. That was following talks with the SPFL who intervened after the last six league derbies were played without away fans. However, it is understood Celtic have written to Rangers confirming they will not give away tickets for the first meeting of the season at Parkhead - on September 1, live on Sky Sports.
'In the meantime, we can confirm that no away allocation will apply for the January Old Firm fixture at Ibrox. This is consistent with the reciprocity embedded in the agreement reached between the clubs and the SPFL.' Sky Sports News has contacted Celtic and the SPFL for comment. When asked in March, both managers were pleased at the prospect of away fans returning.
