During a rather lacklustre match against St. Johnstone the Green Brigade, made headlines of their own by displaying a banner that took aim at the controversial ticket allocation for the upcoming Glasgow Derby.
Amidst an atmosphere already charged with frustration, the message displayed read, “They killed their club, they’re killing the derby, bring back old allocations.”
Celtic has opted not to take the mere 700 tickets allocated by Rangers for the Glasgow Derby, citing safety concerns for their fans.
Rangers’ decision to cut down the ticket allocation from its usual thousands to a paltry 700 is viewed as detrimental to the spirit of one of the most anticipated matches in Scottish football.
The Glasgow Derby is known for its electric atmosphere, where fans from both sides create an incredible backdrop to the footballing action on the pitch. By cutting the ticket allocation so drastically, critics argue that Rangers are undermining a key element that makes the derby so unique and special. The Green Brigade’s banner highlighted this sentiment, imploring both clubs to “bring back old allocations” and preserve the unparalleled atmosphere of the Glasgow Derby.
The Green Brigade’s banner not only highlighted their own grievances but also touched upon broader concerns about the future of the Glasgow Derby. The ticket allocation issue is now more than just a debate; it’s a rallying cry for fans who want to preserve the authentic and exhilarating atmosphere that makes this match one of the most iconic in football.
