9 5 1 1 0 2 5 so we'll start with the statements shall we because there is always one side will say one thing one side will say another thing the SPFL have also released a statement in the last few minutes as well the first statement that came out was from Rangers they said yesterday Celtic informed us that they will not provide any tickets for the forthcoming game to our supporters unless we agree not to allocate tickets to members of the union bears we have firmly rejected those conditions
and have referred the matter to the SPFL board.
At a crucial stage of the season, the removal of away supporters from one of the defining fixtures of the competition would introduce a clear and material sporting imbalance.
It would also set a precedent with potentially significant consequences for the league in future seasons.
We ask that the SPFL board to uphold the integrity of the competition, enforce the rules, and ensure that the agreement in place between both clubs is honoured.
That was the take from Rangers.
In the last half hour, Hugh.
Yeah, well, I'll read that Celtic statement out first and then we can get into it.
Because Celtic have put out a statement of their own.
They said, following the most recent Derby match at Ibrox, Celtic Football Club has engaged in dialogue with Rangers with regards to ticketing and the forthcoming game.
Celtic Park to be clear we are ready and willing to make the full allocation as normal available to Rangers subject to a condition regarding distribution to a particular section following a detailed risk assessment with regards to the forthcoming match the club has made a reasonable request of Rangers that tickets are not distributed
to a section of supporters which very recently and identifiably engaged in serious violence and disorder involving Celtic supporters, staff, police and stewards.
To our surprise and disappointment, Rangers have not agreed to this request.
Celtic are ready to engage further with the SPFL and Rangers on this matter.
Just tell Celtic who's getting the tickets.
The SPFL in the last 10 minutes or so have released a statement of their own.
I promise you this is the final statement I've got to read out.
They have said the SPFL today confirmed that it's received a request for a determination from Rangers in relation to their forthcoming
