In a recent development, Hearts have reportedly decided to reduce their away allocation for most clubs in the upcoming season, with the exception of Hibs. This news was first hinted at by Celtic Underground, a popular Celtic social media account, before being officially reported by RecordSport on Monday evening.
Earlier in the day, Celtic Underground posted about strong rumours of Hearts’ impending decision to their followers. The account wrote: ‘Rumour that Hearts are looking at restricting tickets to Tynecastle similarly to Ibrox numbers.’ Known for their accurate insights into Celtic affairs, they were once again spot on with their prediction.
As the news broke out into the mainstream, Celtic Underground revealed that Celtic is now reconsidering its stance regarding away games at both Tynecastle and Ibrox. The club is deliberating whether accepting such limited tickets for these grounds is worthwhile. The account shared: ‘Celtic are rumoured to be considering taking no tickets for Ibrox and no tickets for Tynecastle.’
Tynecastle and Ibrox are arguably the most hostile environments for Celtic fans. The club is likely weighing the security and stewarding challenges of ensuring the safety of a small number of Celtic fans at these games against the potential benefits.
While the travelling Celtic fans would undoubtedly want to be present at these games, the club must consider the broader implications even with a reduced ticket allocation. Celtic refused tickets to the final Glasgow Derby of the season at Ibrox because of safety concerns.
The decision is complex, balancing the fans’ wishes with the logistical and safety concerns presented by these away games. As the situation unfolds, Celtic fans eagerly await the club’s final decision.
