Even Celtic fans will agree with Kris Boyd’s Hibs allocation rant

Pundit Kris Boyd criticized Hibernian for reducing away ticket allocations for Celtic and Rangers supporters at Easter Road. 67hailhail reports that following Celtic's 2-1 win over Hibs, Boyd argued on Sky Sports Scotland that restricting visiting fans costs the Edinburgh club significant revenue over the season. Celtic received just 1,699 tickets for the match, down from previous allocations of nearly 4,000.

The writer agrees with Boyd's assessment, noting that Hibs reduced allocations in March 2024 over supporter behavior concerns and to prioritize home fans. Hibs chief executive Dan Barnett previously estimated the policy could cost between £150,000 and £200,000 annually if home supporters fail to buy the unsold tickets.
