Excitement is building for Celtic fans as they anticipate some thrilling Glasgow derby matches against Rangers in the upcoming months. Unfortunately, the absence of away fans in these matches has affected the atmosphere at Celtic Park and Ibrox.
A standout moment in December was the League Cup final where Celtic triumphed over Rangers in a penalty shootout, showcasing the best of the Glasgow derby. Amidst split fan support at Hampden, Brendan Rodgers emerged victorious once again.

While Philippe Clement was at the helm during that historic match, Barry Ferguson will lead Rangers for their visit to Parkhead on March 16. As Celtic look ahead to securing the title before facing Rangers at Ibrox, the return of away supporters promises a grand celebration.

Kris Boyd is optimistic about the long-term reintroduction of away fans at Celtic and Rangers games, emphasizing the global appeal and unique energy they bring to the fixtures. He hopes for a return to the vibrant atmosphere and banter that define the Glasgow derby, emphasizing the importance of fans in enhancing the overall experience.

Despite previous controversies surrounding the absence of away fans, Brendan Rodgers clarified that this issue primarily pertains to Rangers. As Celtic eyes another Treble under Rodgers’ leadership, it’s clear that their success is undeniable and demands acceptance from critics like Graeme Souness.
