Celtic’s SPFL ban is scheduled to take effect in the Scottish League Cup semi-final against Rangers.
There appears to be so much going on around the two Glasgow clubs right now that it’s easy to forget they’ll be facing off in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden Park next month. Celtic supporters are upset with way the club has been governed in recent months and want changes, including the removal of several board members.
On the other hand, the Rangers find themselves in a familiar, yet unpleasant, situation. They fired their manager for the fourth season in a row.
Steven Gerrard is expected to replace Russell Martin in the Ibrox hot seat, with an arrangement said to be nearing conclusion. So it appears that Brendan Rodgers will face the guy with whom he nearly won the Premier League title at Liverpool when the two sides meet again at Hampden Park.
Other factors will also come into play. For example, according to CeltsAreHere, Celtic’s SPFL suspension will begin next month. The Hoops are set to lose 500 tickets to the League Cup semi-final against Rangers.
Celtic will face ban against Rangers in League Cup semi-finals
This relates to a disciplinary verdict from March. Of course, it comes at an unfortunate moment, since you want as many supporters as possible for the League Cup semi-final, particularly against the Rangers.
Celtic’s recent record versus the Rangers has not been good. That is surprising given how many troubles the Ibrox club has recently experienced.
However, Celtic have been unable to overcome them for various reasons. Hopefully, things will alter at Hampden Park next month.
