The Ibrox club made the decision after claiming ‘risk’ supporters had purchased tickets.
Celtic describes as ‘hugely sad’ Rangers’ decision to cancel all away tickets for the SWPL match at Ibrox.
On the eve of the Women’s Derby match on Sunday, the Ibrox club said that no out-of-town supporters would be
permitted entry into the stadium. They cited information they had received suggesting that ‘risk’ supporters had
bought tickets, and they made this decision following discussions with Police Scotland.
In response to the news, Celtic released the following statement on their website: “Today, at Ibrox Stadium, all
away tickets for the women’s SWPL match will be cancelled, as notified to Celtic Football Club just this morning.
The decision to deny access to so many fans is extremely disappointing, especially in light of the fact that the home
club had several options to enable our fans to attend in a stadium of this size safely and in light of the anticipated
number of attendees. This is especially true in light of the fact that so many people are working so hard to support
and promote the women’s game in Scotland.
“Celtic will coordinate refunds for all tickets with the home team and will notify our supporters who bought tickets
as soon as feasible.” With pleasure, we notify our fans that those who would want to attend the game can watch it
on television at Celtic Park’s Sports Bar.
