Celtic have received an allocation of just 1,699 tickets for their forthcoming Premiership visit to Easter Road.

Martin O’Neill’s side face Hibernian in Edinburgh on Sunday, October 25, with kick-off scheduled for midday.

The decision is particularly notable after Hibs chief executive Dan Barnett admitted that restricting the number of visiting supporters could cost the club between £150,000 and £200,000 per year when additional home tickets remain unsold.

Those comments appeared to open the door to Celtic receiving more of the South Stand again.

The Easter Road club previously handed Celtic close to the full South Stand, providing travelling supporters with approximately 3,800 to 4,000 tickets.

That figure was initially reduced to 2,930 before being cut further as Hibs attempted to increase the number of home fans inside the stadium.

Hibs are entitled to prioritise their own support, but the approach will inevitably be questioned if significant numbers of seats remain empty on the day.

Demand from Celtic supporters will comfortably exceed the 1,699 tickets available, meaning that Celtic could easily shift more tickets.

The possibility of an allocation increase was considered. For the October 25 meeting, though, Hibs have decided to stick with a heavily reduced Celtic section.
