JOHN HARTSON didn’t hold back when giving his opinion to his Twitter followers on the fallout regarding the away fans in the Glasgow Derby.
The former Celtic player, who had a medical at Ibrox, has said that there should be at least 10,000 fans in attendance, not 700.
Of course, this would take that away allocation above the original, and it’s wishful thinking from Hartson.
I would say stuff the 700 tickets.. it should be 10,000 fans plus or nothing. If your one of the 700 I would think of the other Celtic fans who are missing out. We all know who started this lack of away fans nonsense.

Celtic seemingly asked for 2,500 away fans, but their foes declined this and handed them 700 tickets. It’s still to be decided if Celtic are to sell these tickets.
The debate about away fans will never end, no matter the agreement. Some fans want it to be kept at no travelling support, some would like it to return to 8,000, and some are happy to have a couple hundred.
It’ll be interesting to see how Celtic react to this. Will they refuse and risk causing more animosity between the sides, or will they accept and hope to have more positive dialogue for the next Glasgow Derby in Ibrox.
