The number of away tickets that Celtic will receive for their Scottish Cup quarter-final match against Rangers has been confirmed by the SFA.
Danny Rohl's side will take on their Old Firm rivals on Sunday, March 8, in what will be the second meeting between the two teams in seven days, thanks to their Scottish Premiership fixture a week prior, which also takes place at Ibrox.
Both clubs have been in negotiations regarding the away allocation for the travelling support, with SFA rules dictating that the visiting club can claim up to 20 per cent of the total stadium capacity.
While that high-end figure of roughly 10,000 has not been reached, both Rangers and Celtic have come to a compromise, with around 7,500 tickets being handed over to Ibrox's visitors next month.

Because of this, Celtic's support will take up the full Broonloan Stand, which has not been seen at Rangers' home since 2018.
So far this season, Rangers and Celtic have met three times, with both teams achieving a single victory each. Their first match ended in a drab 0-0 draw at Ibrox, which was the only time that Russell Martin and Brendan Rodgers faced off against each other in Glasgow.
They would meet again in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final, as Rohl's side fell to a 3-1 defeat at the national stadium last November.
However, the German would pick up his first Old Firm victory this year, defeating Wilfried Nancy's Celtic 3-1 at Parkhead last month. Apart from their upcoming matches in March, the two will meet post-split one final time, likely to be at Celtic Park.
