The angry bears were quickly out over social media demanding that Celtic don’t get any tickets for the League Cup tie at Ibrox on September 12/13.
It is a long standing tradition at Ibrox. Starting back in 2018 after Odsonne Edouard popped in a dramatic winner for 10 men in front of a jubilant Free Broomloan.
The bears went to work almost straight away.
The Celtic allocation has varied from zero to 800 and recently settled on 2,500 for matches in the SPFL.
Unlike the Scottish Cup and the 20% away allocation rule there are no figures in place for the SPFL or League Cup.
Celtic’s Scottish Cup win at Ibrox triggered bears like never before.
Onto the pitch they came, attacking Celtic staff, Police Officers and their own stewards.
All in the noble cause of self defence according to the Gullible & Deluded.
THE ANGRY BEARS DICTATE POLICY AT IBROX
Celtic fans stood celebrating in the Free Broomloan as folk in masks jumped around for a few minutes then ran back to their stands and off home.
Apparently Celtic fans caused £1.5m of damage to the Free Broomloan. Remarkably the entire stand was rebuilt in time for a home match 13 days later against Aberdeen.
Having watched their celebrated team fall against Celtic B bears vowed never ever ever to have the Free Broomloan turned green, white and orange.
The club and the nodding dogs in the Fan Advisory Board agreed.
Zero tickets. Can’t be trusted.

If the League Cup tie was in isolation the Ibrox club would slash the Celtic allocation. Down to 800 or 0.
But their problem is that they are at Celtic Park one week after hosting the League Cup tie.
Whatever stunt they pull will be returned on them.
When they announce that Celtic will be given 2,500 tickets for the League Cup tie they will come under fire from their own supporters.
Anything less and they’ll be going to Celtic Park and face the consequences.
Had the fixtures been reversed, if the League Cup tie been after the SPFL match a stunt could have been pulled.
After ticket allocations comes the pricing.
Generally around £50-55 for the Glasgow Derby. For cup ties the clubs agree on pricing.
After expenses the away club gets 45% of the ticket money.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds from loyal bears going straight into the Celtic bank account.
They could of course boycott their cherished ‘O** F***’ fixture.
Let the fun and games begin,oh the bitching will be good from the staunchest .
They be desperately pushing in these next 3 to 5 players before the deadline day,bringing total signings from the wanks,sorry the yanks to possibly 30 to 32 players,with JACKSHIT to show for it.
The pressure is all on McWinless,he can’t afford any slip-ups now not one,be that in Europe,this cup game or the league.
He is one of those games from being hounded out that door, that’s pressure he can’t handle.
You could say it’s a DISGUSTING position he finds himself in,al of his own making.
