Why? Well known fact that Celtic only turn out full allocation for Rangers games.

49,000 last season, ledley keeps referring to how great it is to play in front of 60,000 every week, the only time they get 60,000 is when they play rangers, by the way, todays crowd was 36,000, piss poor if you ask me!!!!!

Their average attendance tends to do what most clubs do nowadays and include all season ticket holders. My brother goes reguarly and has often said there has been under 35,000 at certain games. Even this season they had 33,000 for "a big European night". They only buy season tickets to ensure they get to Old Firm tickets, folk can't get rid of them most other weeks. If Rangers go tits up they'll struggle to shift 30,000 season tickets but the thicvk fucks can't see that.

Personally, no. It should always be at Hampden where possible.

No doubt there will be lots of debate on it but I think it should always be at our national stadium regardless of who is in it.

I would think it'll be full. I was at the semi final in 2006 and there was over 43,000 for that. If they can't fill it for a final then they are both just as well chucking it. It's a 55 minute drive and there are trains every 15 minutes between the two cities.

I can't imagine the SFA will want to shift it and have to pay for Murrayfield too.
