Celtic have hit out after being given just 508 tickets for the upcoming trip to Tynecastle.
The club confirmed the allocation on Thursday evening after being informed of the figure by Hearts.
There is plenty more in our latest Celtic news and transfers coverage.
Celtic also made a point of telling supporters that the decision was not theirs.
In a statement, the club said: “We have been informed by Heart of Midlothian FC that we will receive an allocation of 508 tickets for our forthcoming match at Tynecastle Stadium at the end of this month.
“Clearly we are surprised and disappointed at this move, which represents another cut of around 20% on our previous allocation and follows significant reductions across recent years.
“However, to be very clear, this is outwith our control and is the decision of the home club.”

That final sentence leaves little doubt over Celtic’s position.
The club are clearly unhappy with the latest reduction and have made sure supporters know that the number of tickets available was decided by Hearts.
With only 508 tickets available this time, demand will once again be far higher than supply.
Celtic have confirmed that tickets have been balloted among season ticket holders who attended 13 or more domestic away matches during the 2025/26 season.
Those who are successful will be contacted directly by the club with details on how to buy their ticket.
Adult tickets are priced at £35, while concession prices range from £13 to £25. There is also a £1.60 booking fee on each ticket.
For most supporters hoping to make the trip to Edinburgh, though, the biggest issue will simply be getting a ticket in the first place.
Celtic’s statement makes their own view clear. They are surprised by the latest cut, disappointed by the decision and have publicly stressed that the allocation was set by Hearts as the home club.
