St Johnstone have confirmed their stance on Celtic’s allocation for next season.
Through the years at McDiarmid Park, Celtic fans have been given one, two and three stands on different occasions.
In their most recent visit last April — a shock win for then-bottom side St Johnstone — Celtic were given the East, North and Ormond stands at the stadium.
On other occasions, they have been given just two, behind each goal.
The decisions are yours…
Celtic given three stands by St Johnstone for season 2026/27
The Perth club have confirmed that Celtic and Rangers will get three stands of the stadium next season, with home supporters only getting the Geoff Brown stand.
This means that the Hoops’ allocation will come to roughly 7,500-8,000 seats.

A statement on the St Johnstone website said regarding the decision: “As previously indicated, as a matter of financial expediency, we will sell three stands to Rangers and Celtic.
” All East Stand season ticket holders will move to the Geoff Brown Stand for these particular fixtures. Family Stand season ticket holders will be offered seating options in the Geoff Brown Stand.
“Hearts will be given the entire North and Ormond Stands. This allows us to maximise club revenue while keeping the Family Stand season ticket price low.
“We understand that these decisions may divide opinion. However, the additional revenue generated from these fixtures provides a significant financial boost to the club, which is vital in helping us compete and invest both on and off the pitch.”
Last season, the Saints were relegated from the Scottish top-flight for the first time since 2002, despite their triumph over the Hoops in April.
They have recently secured an immediate return, however, being vindicated in their decision to hold on to manager Simo Valakari.
They stormed the second tier in the end, losing just one league game after November and finishing eleven points above runners-up Partick Thistle.
