Celtic tell Raith Rovers that no away fans will be permitted for Premier Sports Cup clash at Parkhead

Raith Rovers have confirmed that they will receive no away allocation for the upcoming Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Celtic.

Travelling fans have not been permitted for any fixtures at Parkhead this season, with the Glasgow giants citing ongoing Covid precautions and the positioning of season ticket holders.

A Rovers statement said: “The club have received confirmation confirmed from Celtic FC that we will not receive an allocation of tickets to sell to Rovers supporters later this month.
