Robbie Neilson tells Celtic and Rangers their Hearts ticket allocation won’t go up anytime soon
dailyrecord.co.ukRobbie Neilson has backed Hearts' decision to cut Celtic's ticket allocation to just 1000 for tomorrow night's Premiership crunch at Tynecastle.
And he insists that he wants Ann Budge and the Jambos board to continue the policy whenever the Old Firm comes to town. Celtic had been given 3800 briefs - the entire capacity of the Roseburn Stand - on previous occasions but Hearts believe their own supporters will snap up the extra tickets now available to them.
