“ Away fans banned “

There will be no Rangers supporters at the Old Firm match against Celtic at Parkhead on Saturday December 30.

There were no away fans at the first derby fixture this season at Ibrox and likewise at the last two league games between Celtic and Rangers at the end of last season due to a ticketing dispute over fan safety.

Rangers say that despite winning a case put to an SPFL board sub-committee which agreed Celtic's stance of providing zero tickets to the club was unreasonable, an appropriate number couldn't be reached due to lack of evidence submitted by Celtic.

Spoils the atmosphere, games with no away fans a re like a political rally.
