Bottom line why would Celtic give Rangers an advantage of having their fans there and then in December, say sorry we are not ready so none of you fans can come to Ibrox. Football is a business and winning the title is all that matters. And anyone suggesting Celtic allow Rangers fans in when Rangers started this whole thing is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Rangers fans assaulted and robbed a 51 yo woman what a disgrace 👎

5:50 - It's not an allegation Simon, it's a stone cold fact.

rangers entered the top flight in 2016/17 season and for the first two season they lost ALL of the league games that were played at ibrox.

This resulted in rangers reducing Celtic's allocation from 7, 500 to 750 for the 2018/19 season. Celtic returned the favour in kind by then reducing rangers' allocation at Celtic Park to a few hundred also.

After a few games like that, Celtic basically said - There's no point in having a few hundred fans, might as well just make it zero.

And that is where we are, Celtic Football club would revert to the old allocations at both stadiums in a heartbeat but rangers simply do not want to do it.

A recent compromise was reached for both clubs to make a part of their grounds accessible for 2, 000 - 3, 000 fans but rangers have not carried out the work. They haven't even applied for planning permission yet.

Rodgers is correct always been a Rangers problem, Celtic agreed to sort it but Sevco reneged on agreement,
can't even guarantee there own fans will be in Ibrox let alone Celtic fans, it's a totally different issue now

[JayAlex-yf]

Celtic staff have been hit with objects Celtic fans have been exposed to unsafe conditions broadcasters and commentators have been told by the Rangers board it is unsafe. Celtic are just making sure their fans are going to be safe and they are perfectly correct to do so.

[bartholomewgravybreath]

One of the main issues is Rangers haven’t even applied for the relevant planning permission from Glasgow City council. Its taken Celtic 5 months to do the required work at Celtic Park while Rangers are in chaos and can’t even let their own fans when they will return to Ipox

[michaelross]

rangers haven't lifted a finger to do ANY work regarding the away fan area unlike Celtic who have stuck to their side of the agreement and spent plenty money on it.
Its a rangers problem end of story.

St johnstone slo incident proves celtic made correct decision simple

JORDAN HAS NOT GOT A CLUE ABOUT SCOTTISH FOOTBALL

[eugdee]

It was sad to see an end to the old firm 12 years ago. The Glasgow derby these days isn’t the same. As a young club this new Rangers club just don’t seem to have the experience to follow though to ensure fans safety.

[brianflynn]

No old firm and the issue is rangers started it and the main issue is rangers cannot guarantee the safety of the celtic support at castle grey skull

[williamgoldsmith]

Graeme was the very man who said he hated sitting in the dugout at Ibrox listening to the Rangers fans singing about killing his Catholic wife.

[dublinsfaircity]

rangers players and fans have sank so low they now have to resort to celebrating wildly a league cup win v St Johnstone at a half empty hampden park. This is now their level.

[simonboyle]

To put it simply, the Rangers board make a rip roaring calamity of everything they touch.

Celtic & Rangers had an agreement in place. Celtic complied. Rangers can’t even get their own fans into Ibrox, never mind away fans. They’re a circus.

[hoggybhoy]

The tackle on Billy Stark was a shocker ffs

[jmac]

Nobody is turning up to watch rangers at hampden now anyway. It’s irrelevant

[NoamChompsky-obte]

Their fans dont like to see their team getting four and five stuck past them at home by their City rival. Celtic fans dont know that feeling

[RhebelGaming]

I disagree that a Celtic park without Rangers fans is a bad thing. It's just louder and better. I do agree though that a Ibrox without Celtic fans is a worse atmosphere so the best thing for everyone would be to only let Celtic fans in at Ibrox so the rangers fans can stay home watch their team get pumped on TV instead.

[ChrisHaggarty]

They are Missing the point. If Rangers can’t guarantee that away fans will be able to attend the Rangers v Celtic game at Ibrox, while Celtic allow away fans into Celtic Park on September 1st, the Rangers have an advantage, they will need more than that for sure, but an advantage nevertheless 🍀

[dhenbhoy]

`The only simple thing is Simon. If an agreement has been reached by all parties, then the agreed work hasn't been done and Sevco refuse to give a guarantee that it will... Celtic are no longer bound by that agreement. It's void, same as any contractual obligations.
