Celtic and Rangers have reached an agreement to allow away fans to return to Old Firm matches in the Scottish Premiership starting next season. This decision follows a one-match ban handed to Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers for criticizing match officials after a recent game against Hearts. The clubs will provide around 5% of ticket allocations for away supporters, a move welcomed by Philippe Clement. This change is seen as a positive step towards bringing back the atmosphere of derby days with visiting fans.
"The mature and satisfying compromise by the Old Firm to allow visiting fans back in next season will not be a return to the good old days of around 7,500 away fans each - but it is a sensible improvement on none at all." Read @MGrantScotland's column 🔽 https://t.co/bkUFtFpoEP
