Celtic fans aim new dig at Rangers as images emerge amid ongoing Old Firm controversy

After Rangers canceled all away tickets for the women’s Old Firm match, Celtic supporters took a fresh stab at the team, stating that football is meaningless without supporters, according to the Daily Record.

On February 18, the newspaper posted pictures of Celtic supporters wearing t-shirts that said, “Football without fans is nothing,” on its website in opposition to the Ibrox club’s decision.
The Gers drew the match 1-1, keeping their lead atop the standings, although the club banned all away fans due to information they received that suggested “risk” fans had bought tickets.

Will the away fans come back to Celtic vs. Rangers games?
Amid the ongoing dispute concerning away supporters’ presence at derby games, the decision to bar away supporters from the women’s Old Firm game fueled the flames even more.

Numerous people have criticized these choices, and the most recent demonstration by fans at the women’s game highlights how aggravating the issue has gotten and places the blame for the decisions on both clubs.

The most recent information suggested that just 750 tickets might be provided for the next men’s match; however, even if this is a positive development and a step ahead in the negotiations, it is still a pitiful offer.

It is insignificant when compared to the times of 8,000-fan away ends.
The fans have suffered because this argument has been going on for much too long.

Naturally, the absence of away spectators at Parkhead or Ibrox has led to lower atmospheres for a game that usually thrived on the fervor from the stands, which is now absent.

The clubs’ petty bickering is hurting what ought to be the pinnacle of Scottish football; the sooner they can put their heads together and reach a consensus, the better. Rather, it has been permitted to continue for much too long.
