August 31, 2026 Frankly Speaking: Tell Rangers Where To Stick Their 300 Tickets! | Three Days To Save Their Transfer Window
Frank McAvennie reacts to Rangers offering Celtic just 300 tickets for the League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox. Should Celtic reject the allocation completely, and would accepting it risk making token away supports the new normal in Old Firm games?
Macca also looks at Celtic’s extraordinary summer rebuild, with 32 players departing at all levels and only four new arrivals so far. With just days remaining before the transfer window closes, how many signings does Martin O’Neill still need and can Celtic rescue a window that has already contributed to their Champions League exit?
There’s also a look at the names Celtic are chasing, including Gvidas Gineitis, Joël van den Berg, Justin Devenny, Will Ferry and potential goalkeeping reinforcements.
Plus, have Rangers finally turned a corner after beating Aberdeen? Frank gives his verdict on Lawrence Shankland, Derek McInnes and Rangers’ own potential late-window spending, with Kevin Kelsy and Kim Min-su among the names being linked.
All that plus Camilo Duran’s impressive start, the continuing Celtic supporter protests and the rest of the weekend’s Scottish Premiership action on Frankly Speaking.
