Why Celtic could have a large away following at Rangers
Away end allocations have been a controversial topic for Glasgow derbies in recent years but things could change.
Scottish Premiership rules state that clubs are allowed five per cent of the stadium, at minimum, but in the cup, that could be extended.
Teams can request for 20 per cent of the stadium and that would allow for more than 10,000 Celtic fans to be in attendance.
That would require the clubs and Police Scotland to agree and sign it off, with details set to be released in the coming weeks.
A big allocation would suit everyone at Celtic and Rangers
News of a bumper away end in the Glasgow derby should be considered a positive step for everyone.
Some of the best memories are when there are a healthy mix of home and away fans in the ground, adding to the atmosphere.
