Celtic have expressed surprise and disappointment at being allocated only 508 tickets for their visit to Tynecastle to face Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, 29 November.

In a website statement, the reigning Scottish champions say: "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."

Celtic currently lead the Scottish Premiership by four points from Rangers, with Hearts 11 points behind and having dropped to fourth behind Falkirk after Sunday's defeat by the Bairns.
