The enduring rivalry between the two Scottish clubs has been given added potency by the fact that they have consistently competed for top spot in the Scottish top division down the years. And with Rangers’ Ibrox Stadium holding almost 51,000 spectators and Celtic Park over 60,000, there’s usually a fair chance of picking up a ticket for one of the clubs’ home games. There are two primary ways of getting yourself a ticket for a Celtic or Rangers match: through the clubs themselves, both of which make tickets available for a certain number of non-members, or through non-official ticket resellers. We’ve assessed both such options below.
StubHub International
Our number one pick for finding standard tickets, StubHub International have been one of the main players in the ticket resale market since launching in 2000. Sellers can advertise tickets at any price and this can often be significantly above face value – particularly for more high profile games. Helpfully, however, the site shows you the comparative face value price of each ticket, so you can decide whether it’s value for money before committing. Buyers can ask for their tickets to be delivered physically, as print-at-home, or as a mobile transfer. Availability is generally strong, with our searches for Celtic and Rangers matches bringing up tickets for every game scheduled for the rest of the current season. Be aware, there are additional fees for service, delivery and VAT, which work out at around £35 per ticket. StubHub also offer a FanProtect Guarantee that helps ensure the tickets are genuine, are the same or comparable with those you ordered, and will get to you in time for the event.
Official Websites
While priority goes to season ticket holders and members, both general sale and VIP hospitality tickets for Celtic and Rangers matches can also be purchased via the clubs’ respective official website. Hospitality packages are popular with those keen to treat friends, family or corporate guests to an exclusive football experience. There are a wide range of packages available, each offering perks such as access to private lounges, meet and greets with club legends, fine dining, and premium match seats. At Celtic, there are two hospitality packages: Club 67, which includes lounge access and a padded seat in the Jock Stein Stand; and Number 7, which includes all of the above, plus a champagne reception, a 4-course pre-match meal, and use of a complimentary bar. At Rangers, there are multiple packages available, including the Blue Sky Lounge package, which includes a 4-course meal, half-time refreshments and on-site parking, with prices starting at around £185 per person.
