Scottish Cup semi-final tickets went on sale this morning for the Hampden game against Aberdeen. We met the same opponents in the two domestic cup finals in season 2016-17. On both those occasions, Aberdeen were unable to sell their ticket allocation, having asked for, and received, half of the stadium.
Celtic fans logging in to buy tickets this morning were told there were not enough tickets available to satisfy all Celtic fans who bought tickets to earlier Scottish Cup games against Airdrie and St Johnstone, therefore meeting the qualifying criteria.
The upshot of this is that Aberdeen have zero chance of selling their allocation while Celtic fans who have already supported the competition by buying tickets will be locked out, further frustrated by the sight of empty seats on TV.
The SFA’s ticket allocation policy ensures that another showpiece Hampden game is simultaneously subject to over-demand and over-supply. Adam Smith will be spinning in his Edinburgh grave.

That is a cracking track by Geordie singer/songwriter Sam Fender. Great name for a guitarist too.

He’s got some great tunes on YouTube , coming to play in Glasgow in May . ‘ Play God ‘ is a brilliant song . I dig his lyrics/subjects he’s signing about .
Not just another average pop artist only interested in doing the commercial thing , he’s got something to say in his music .

Love the Sam Fender track, “That Sound.” Great guitar riff, tune and lyrics.
Talented young artist.
Good morning, friends, from a damp and grey East KIlbride.
Just one more sleep until we see, perhaps, 7 Celtic players representing their country with 5 of those playing for Scotland. Just a pity that I may have to record the 3pm kick off, avoid all media (not necessarily a bad thing!) and watch later.
