A proposal that could have a major impact on Celtic supporters travelling across Scotland has taken a step forward at Holyrood.
The Scottish Parliament has voted in support of calls for a £25 cap on away ticket prices. The proposal was brought forward by the Scottish Greens and comes after growing concern over the cost of attending matches.

Away ticket pricing became a major talking point for Celtic supporters during last year’s title run-in. The issue reached its peak before the trip to Tannadice in April 2025 when Dundee United charged Celtic fans more than £40 for admission.
That decision sparked anger among supporters, particularly after home fans were able to access discounted tickets through a separate promotion.
The Green Brigade led protests inside Tannadice during Celtic’s title-clinching victory in 2025. Tangerines were thrown onto the pitch before banners calling for lower ticket prices were displayed in the away section.
The campaign has continued beyond that match, with supporters’ groups arguing that rising costs are making it harder for fans to follow their clubs away from home.
The vote at Holyrood does not automatically introduce a £25 cap. However, it represents political backing for the idea and increases pressure on football authorities and clubs to examine the issue.
For Celtic supporters, it is a development that will be welcomed after months of debate.
Travelling fans often face some of the highest matchday costs in Scottish football. Ticket prices are only one part of the expense, with transport and accommodation adding further costs for many supporters.
The Tannadice controversy helped bring the issue into the national spotlight. What started as frustration over one fixture has since developed into a wider discussion about affordability across the game.
Whether a £25 cap eventually becomes reality remains to be seen. Clubs will have their own concerns around revenue and matchday income.
What is clear is that the conversation has moved beyond supporter forums and into Parliament. After the protests seen at Tannadice earlier this year, the issue of away ticket pricing is now firmly on the agenda in Scottish football.
now thats worth protesting the right way the courts thats what thise anurchists should be standing outside parliment and let people enjoy there football the thowing stuff onto the pictch holding the game up lost us three points in an awful pitch
