CELTIC will cover £6 of every Hoops fan’s ticket for Saturday’s trip to Kilmarnock.

The champions are keen to have as many supporters at Rugby Park as possible as the title race goes down the final stretch.

Hoops supporters feel they are ripped off at the Ayrshire ground. They are charged £26 – as opposed to £20 for fans of every other club.

But Celtic supporters will pay just £20 this weekend after their club made the gesture.

A statement read: "Just as crucial, as ever, will be our travelling support (this Saturday). That support is never taken for granted and now the club is thanking our travelling fans for your tremendous backing throughout the season.

"Every adult ticket purchased this week from the Celtic Park Ticket Office for the game against Kilmarnock will be discounted, by Celtic, by £6. Celtic Football Club will meet the cost of this, and every supporter who has already secured their seat to get behind the team this weekend will also be able to claim their discount based on their original method of payment.

"That means that for this weekend’s game, Celtic supporters can get behind their team in numbers once again for only £20 per adult ticket instead of £26."

Skipper Scott Brown added: “This is a great move by the club and I am sure it will be welcomed by our supporters. We hope it will allow even more fans to come and back the team at Rugby Park.

“Our supporters are everything to us and it is a privilege to be able to play in front of such a large and passionate support everywhere we go. We saw it on Saturday at Firhill and felt the difference a huge travelling support can make.

“We respect and value the huge commitment our fans make in supporting the team and we are so grateful for everything they do for us. We were delighted to win such an important game on Saturday and now our total focus is on achieving another win at Kilmarnock - and we want to do this with as many fans as possible behind us.”
