Ibrox fans are close to breaking point at the thought of a Celtic fans filling the Broomloan Road Stand on March 8.
That prospect is giving them flashbacks to the glorious 2016-18 when Celtic won four successive matches against their city rivals.
It was the first time that Charles Green’s Tribute Act had played in the top division.
Celtic won 2-1, 5-1, 2-1 and 3-2. The winning goal from Odsonne Edouard proved to be one too many with loyal bears forcing their club to reduce the Celtic allocation from 7,000 to 700.
IBROX TICKET REGULATIONS
Both clubs have negotiated a deal to European allocations. Given 5% of the stadium capacity there will be 2,000 Celtic fans at Ibrox on March 1 in the SPFL.
A week later in the Scottish Cup Celtic are entitled to 20% of the tickets. They also agree the pricing.
A Scottish Cup tie is very different. It is a bonus match, not on the Season Ticket and staged by the Scottish Football Association.
Ibrox fans are running scared of the prospect of a Broomloan Road Stand full of Celtic fans. Wait till they find out that Celtic are entitled to 3,000 more on top of the Free Broomloan.
You better not fold Rangers you know they’d give us as little tickets as possible using every trick in the book

The ticket and pricing is all in the hands of Celtic.
Police Scotland have confirmed that ticketing is down to the clubs, once agreed they will make their arrangements.
Celtic fans have good reason to be worried over the negotiating skills of Michael Nicholson.
The narrative around this issue is that Celtic will have be very successful if they get 7,000 Broomloan Road tickets. WRONG. Anything less than 10,000 tickets will be another capitulation on the part of Nicholson.
Other than Livingston away Celtic fans don’t get 7,000 tickets for any domestic away match. 10,000 fans inside Ibrox will give the team an incredible boost.
Our loyal 7500 season ticket holders in the Broomloan stand should come first. Stick the jungle jims in the corner.

1000 away tickets absolute max. Season ticket holders first

Don’t shaft your own fans here, give them the European allocation. DO NOT let them dictate to us. If they get the full stand, then they can go back to 800 in future.

Put them in the corner. They’re not wanted nor needed in Ibrox.

Now announce the manks are only getting 700 tickets ?

Take care of every single season ticket holder. Give them their normal allocation

Charge away fans 4000 a ticket

Will Michael Nicholson secure 20% of tickets for Celtic fans at Ibrox?
YES- Don't doubt our mighty leader
NO- Expect capitulation from the mouse
Do these Orcs not realise it’s a cup game and not a league game. We need The Broomloan Stand and 3,000 in the 2 tier stand. Such a benefit playing them there. Could you imagine the fumigation costs if they had 12,000 zombie bastards in Paradise. ???? ????
I’m sure, given the rules around Away Teams percentage requirement at 20% of the Total Capacity and that meaning that Celtic are entitled to 10,000 tickets, that Iron Mike Nicolson will have already sent a Fax to the SFA and The Sevco Football Club with his initial offer of 50% of that amount , 5000 tickets!! 🙂 No doubt, with a bit of Supporter Pressure he’ll negotiate that up to the Broomloan Stand ( 7000 ) with Sevco no doubt having the rest of the tickets to the Bigotdromes capacity! Even though if Celtics 20% is reduced then the total amount of tickets need to be reduced by the same percentage!!!
Good Old Mike!! ???
Mikey the Magnificent will not let his team down.. the Rangers
Sicken them by demanding our due allocation…
Oh Hell – Silly me Lucan canny negotiate !
Joe again i say that rat bastard Nicholson needs to grow a pair of balls and demand our full allocation, time for pandering to them corrupt SFA or them lowlife scum Hun fc is well gone. Imagine 10k Celtic fans backing the bhoys in that rat infested shit hole.

Have the 49 ers found a Pied Piper yet …for the rats ? It should be easy to do especially as Ibrox can supply their own flutes ?
