Celtic told to hand back Hearts tickets as Hotline slams Tynecastle cut
Celtic urged to reject Hearts ticket cut in Hotline row

Celtic supporters have urged the club to reject Hearts' decision to slash the away ticket allocation for the upcoming Tynecastle match, with the Hotline phone lines lighting up during the international break.

Martin O'Neill's side travel to the capital to face the Jambos on Sunday, November 29, where the allocation for travelling fans has been reduced by a further 20 per cent.

Fans demand action over allocation cut

Scott McAdam from Partick believes Celtic should hand back their allocation entirely: "So Hearts have want to give us 500 tickets for Tynecastle? Well if I was Celtic I would tell them to shove them."

"We don't need to give them 500 for Celtic Park because they wouldn't be able to sell them. Hearts think they are a big club, so they should start acting like one and stop holding grudges from last season. Mind you, it would be a lot sweeter if we gave them another spanking in front of their Tynie tears fans - so go put your big boy pants on and grow up."

David Beattie from Rothesay added: "What is this all about with paltry allocations for away fans whereby the home teams use the excuse that it's accommodating there own fans they have short memories of all the years that Celtic and Rangers fans filled there grounds."

"The very least that the heavily supported teams merit is an away end time the powers that be step in to stop this madness of fans missing out and the atmosphere being badly affected."

Maeda's Ipswich comments draw criticism

While on international duty, Daizen Maeda opened up on his struggles at Ipswich Town after leaving Celtic last summer, but found little sympathy from Peter Cooperwhite.

He said: "So Daizen Maeda says the Premier League has a different level of pressure as our Premiership? Well the difference is in the Premier League there's more top quality defenders than our league, but if you were a bigger player than the hype you got up here you would be man enough to cope like Kyogo and Jota. all you guys a just bang average players, that's a fact - because top players don't moan they turn up in every game and do the talking on the pitch."

Scotland's North Macedonia win sparks concerns

During the international break, the Tartan Army reached for the panic button after the lacklustre 2-1 win over North Macedonia, with Sebastien Pocognoli feeling the heat.

John Scott said: "Our new manager got a wake up call on Friday. Scotland's supporters are not as easily pleased as he thinks they are. He walked onto the pitch at the end and attempted a fist pump in celebration towards the crowd. He'd have gotten a bigger response in the middle of the Gobi Desert."

"Deflated and clearly embarrassed he then wandered off towards the tunnel till he remembered he hadn't shaken the hand of his opponent, Goce Sedloski. We are deluded expecting to easily beat teams like North Macedonia while in reality, we're Western Europe's equivalent. That's being generous given they run and move the ball quicker than Sebastien Pocognoli's players do. We criticised Steve Clarke for boring us rigid. We now know, it's the players that send us to sleep."

Nick from Gourock said: "I listened to the Scotland v North Macedonia game. In the post match interview with Sebastian Pocongnoli, he said we have to learn this or that several times. These are players in their late twenties and early thirties playing at the top level. That would worry me."

Russell Black from Banchory said: "That was a woefully incompetent performance from Scotland last night, if they are set up the same way and perform in a similar fashion they should not even bother travelling to Switzerland."

"This manager was singing the praises for Findlay Curtis and he doesn’t get on, instead of moving forward he brings back the old guard in the shape of Adams!"

Tam Bain from Desborough said: "I watched only 10 minutes of Norway vs Wales, and wales played far better in 10 than Scotland did in 90 mins. Why can't Scotland play good football anymore? What happened to the team that beat Denmark to qualify for the world cup? Scotland have been very very poor since that win against the Danes."
