Celtic have raised a number of concerns with the SPFL over ticket arrangements for their trip to Dundee United next weekend.

Brendan Rodgers’ side require a point next Saturday at Tannadice to retain their Premiership crown.

However, Celtic fans have been hit with hefty ticket prices with visiting fans in the upper tiers of the Jerry Kerr Stand being charged £42 each for briefs, with those below them in the lower sections paying a slightly reduced fee of £40.

Celtic have also been allocated tickets in the Jim McLean Stand for concessions, priced at £25 in the upper tiers and £33 in the lower section of the stand.

But, in the home sections, it has been announced United season-ticket holders can bring a friend for £10.

Record Sport understands that Parkhead chiefs believe such a contrast in pricing for the same game could constitute a potential rule breach.

A statement read: “Following the announcement of ticket arrangements for our forthcoming Scottish Premiership match against Dundee United at Tannadice on Saturday, April 26, we can confirm that we have raised a number of concerns with the SPFL.”
