Breaking news: Amid fears from high-risk fans, Rangers cancel tickets for the Celtic Derby.
Celtic supporters are not allowed to attend this weekend’s women’s team derby, according to a move made by Rangers.
On Sunday, the game is scheduled to begin at Ibrox at 3:10 p.m.
Rangers have reportedly chosen to cancel all away tickets because of worries about dangerous fans entering the stadium. Thus, only Rangers supporters will be present during the game.
In order to deal with the enormous numbers predicted of a Celtic persuasion, the Ibrox club may have called in a sizable police presence.
Though the expenses involved are unimportant, Rangers are thought to prefer a different ambiance at its women’s matches.
They reportedly don’t want segregation to exist, they don’t want fans who come to watch the game to enjoy themselves, they want families to spend the day together, and they don’t want to run the risk of causing any possible trouble from the stands.
With 56 points, Jo Potter’s team leads the SWPL standings. They are presently leading local rivals Celtic by four points. Glasgow City is slightly further back in third place with 50 points.
The Celtic women’s team defeated Rangers in Elena Sadiku’s first game in charge of the team last month, winning the Sky Sports Cup in the process.
