Celtic fans mock Rangers over ticket price for pre-season friendly against Manchester United and accuse club of 'fleecing the fans'

Celtic fans have mocked Rangers over ticket prices for their pre-season friendly against Manchester United. 

The two sides faced off at Murrayfield on Saturday as they kicked off their preparations for the upcoming season. 

Amad Diallo opened the scoring six minutes before the break with a superb left-footed strike to give United the lead. 

20-year-old striker Joe Hugill then sealed the win for Erik ten Hag's men with a powerful strike after 70 minutes. 

However, it was the ticket prices that caught the attention of Celtic fans on social media as some claimed it's a 'daylight robbery'. 

One said: 'Hearing it’s man united 3rd team & its £58 a ticket..' with laughing emojis. 

Another wrote: Cheapest ticket available for the Rangers friendly today is £69. That's disgusting and considering the squad Man United are bringing with them .

'I'm surprised anyone is choosing to go at all. Daylight robbery for the fans of both sides. Shocking'. 

A third said: 'Fleece the fans, it's the Rangers way.'

'£60 a ticket for a friendly between Rangers and Manchester United’s returning Loanees. Heist of the century from the Ibrox club', another Celtic fan posted on X. 

Rangers will continue their preparations for the new season on Wednesday when they face Championship side Birmingham at St Andrews. 

Philippe Clement's men will then take on Bundesliga side Union Berlin before getting their Scottish Premiership campaign underway against Hearts on August 3.
