Celtic vs Rangers Without Fans | Belfast News

Celtic face a tense showdown against Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup under strict new rules—no fans allowed at the massive 50,000-capacity stadium due to a ticket dispute and recent crowd trouble from their last Scottish Cup clash. Both clubs must also pay a hefty $100,000 to the opposing team for away games. Martin ONeill emphasized calm behavior, noting police even dropped by for a quick reminder—history’s on their shoulders. On the pitch, he’s weighing goalkeeper Sam Johnstone against Viljami Sinisalo, hoping to see what Johnstone’s got after past performances. Playing without fans? It’ll feel eerie, but ONeill’s message is clear: keep it clean, stay focused, and let the game be the star. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
