Do you let TRFCers to be present at Parkhead?

Initially Celtic cut the newco supporters allocation to 800 after they cut ours to the same amount. I think at the first game of this season no Celtic fans were allowed at Ibrox, so Celtic have just followed suit.

This whole problem came from TRFC fans petitioning the club to cut Celtic's allocation because they couldn't bear to see them celebrating. In all my years watching football I have never heard any set of supporters suggest this.

I think Celtic had a massive advantage at Ibrox as they had the full end compared to Rangers fans being in the corner at Parkhead.

The Rangers fans also has half the Lisbon Lions Stand.

In my opinion, it makes no difference whatsoever whether their fans are in the Jock Stein Stand, the Lisbon Lions Stand, the North Stand, or the Main Stand they had around 8,000 fans at the game. The Celtic fans were more visible on TV, but 8,000 fans is 8,000 fans no matter whereabouts in the stadium they're sitting.

In my experience, symbolism plays a much larger part in the lives of a lot of The Rangers fans than it does with anyone else, so they see Celtic fans on Tv, whereas they're harder to be seen on TV and it makes them angry. People who actually go to games will realise 8,000 fans making a racket is the same no matter where they are in the ground.
 
That could potentially be a very damaging defeat, but there's only a point in it, and plenty of football left to play imo. Defeats like that can make or break a team, but champions show their true character in adversity. So it will be interesting to see how Rangers deal with this situation.
