Police Scotland will escort the Celtic support into the stadium

Due to the heightened security surrounding the high-profile encounter, Police Scotland has arranged to escort Celtic fans into the stadium safely by 10:30am.

Writing on X, Celtic Supporters Liason Officer John Paul Taylor said:

“This weekend fans who have a valid match ticket are requested to gather at Broomloan Coach Park from 09:30 with a view to being in the Stadium around 10:30. Coach Park on Broomloan Rd will be for Supporters Coaches only. Ticket checks will be in place on approach to the Stadium.”

Celtic supporters will be situated in the corner of the Broomloan Stand, adjacent to the usual visiting fans’ area in the Govan West section.

The same arrangements were used during theRangers’ trip to Celtic Park in March, following a mutual decision by both clubs to lift the two-year ban on away supporters. When theRangers travelled to Celtic Park in March, identical measures were implemented.

Prior to the encounter in Glasgow’s east end last month, members of the Green Brigade were kettled by police, with approximately 90 supporters refused entry to the ground.

Allocations were cut due to theRangers fans having suffered too many defeats

The Free Broomloan Stand

Additional safety measures have been implemented for both sets of visiting supporters since the away allocation was reduced from 7,000 in 2018 because Celtic supporters would annually celebrate twice a season in the Free Broomloan Stand.

Celtic supporters will be returning to Ibrox for the first time since January 2023, when Kyogo’s last-minute strike secured a 2-2 draw for Ange Postecoglou’s Treble winners.
