Celtic take on Hibernian this Sunday in Premier Sports Cup action and will be determined to deliver another victory after last weekend’s triumph at Easter Road.
With a place in the last eight at stake, Brendan Rodgers will be keen to rectify last season’s showing in the competition, where his side bowed out to Kilmarnock in the Second Round.
Undoubtedly, Celtic are a different animal from the early stages of his second tenure. Kicking off the new term as they mean to go on, the Bhoys have scored six in their first two league matches and are yet to concede.
Nevertheless, cup football comes with a different type of jeopardy. Anything can happen on a one-off occasion, so awareness is needed to see off a Hibernian side seeking revenge.
Now, communication has been put forward regarding how the atmosphere at Celtic Park will look once matchday rolls around.
Hibernian announce new ticket plans ahead of Celtic clash
Per Hibernian FC’s official website, they have sold their initial away allocation of 752 seats out and have been granted additional seats in the South East Corner ahead of the clash this weekend.
Cup ties are reliant on an away presence to create a spectacle, and it appears they will travel through in decent numbers to back their side against Celtic with a place in the quarter-final on the line.
Home tickets are still widely available in most areas via the official Celtic website. They are priced at £25 for adults, £17 for concessions and £13 for Under 13’s.
Television details have also been announced, with Premier Sports 1 broadcasting proceedings live as part of their Premier Sports Cup hectic schedule covering all ties throughout the weekend.
The channel will have every game available to take in via their streaming service. Rangers vs St Johnstone has also earned TV billing on Saturday night.
Celtic have been in excellent early season form under Rodgers. Hopefully, the Irishman can lead the Bhoys through to the next round come full-time!
