Brendan Rodgers Hits Out at Scottish Premiership Clubs Over Celtic’s Away Ticket Allocation

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has taken a swipe at Scottish Premiership clubs for slashing the Hoops’ away ticket allocation. Rodgers joked that the Scottish Premiership must be the richest league in the world, given that clubs are willing to leave large swathes of empty seats in their stadiums rather than sell tickets to Celtic fans.

The issue of away ticket allocations has been a contentious one in recent years, with several clubs reducing the number of tickets they sell to Celtic and Rangers. This has led to anger among fans of both clubs, who feel that they are being unfairly denied the opportunity to attend away matches.

Rodgers addressed the issue while discussing SPFL charges levelled against Celtic for their supporters’ use of pyrotechnics. While he acknowledged that the use of pyro was a safety risk, he couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the approach of clubs who have reduced Celtic’s away ticket allocation.

“I think if you have your league and the responsibility with your league, what can your federation do to govern the game and make it as safe and enjoyable as we possibly can?” Rodgers said. “I know that’s sometimes a wee bit of a challenge up here. Sometimes I look at some of the things that we do. We must have the richest league in the world up here because I see stands that are empty. So clubs must be full of money that they don’t need the people in the grounds and the stadium.”

Rodgers’ comments highlight the ongoing tension between Celtic and other Scottish Premiership clubs over the issue of away ticket allocations. While the Hoops’ manager acknowledged that safety is a top priority, he also made it clear that he believes clubs are being short-sighted in their approach to ticket allocations.

“It’s not just about the safety, it’s about the passion and the atmosphere,” Rodgers said. “Supporters are passionate. They love the game. They love the football. Let them go and be safe and watching it.”
