Celtic have revealed they have received an away allocation of 708 tickets for the New Year fixture against Rangers.
Ange Postecoglou's side take on Rangers at Ibrox on Monday January 2.
And just over 700 Celtic supporters will be inside the stadium for the match, with home supporters dwarfing the limited away allocation.
The club confirmed the news this afternoon via the official Celtic FC Tickets social media accounts.
A short statement confirmed: "Tickets for the away match v Rangers on Monday, 2nd January are now on sale to eligible STH [season ticket holders].
"The club received an allocation of 708 tickets for this match."
In a lengthy Twitter thread on tickets and qualifying factors for supporters to purchase match briefs the club also confirmed a price point of £52.

Away allocations for matches between Rangers and Celtic have been slashed in recent seasons with both clubs reducing the number of away fans attending the hotly-anticipated derby clashes.
Celtic previously had fans housed in the Broomloan end at Ibrox with a much larger Rangers support also inside Parkhead for matches in previous years.
However, the limited ticket allocations have continued for the match between the clubs at Ibrox in January.
Outlining criteria for fans to purchase an away ticket, a Celtic FC Tickets Twitter thread explained: "Tickets for this match are on sale to season ticket holders based on the following criteria: A random ballot amongst season ticket holders who have attended 42 or more away games over seasons 21/22, 19/20 and 18/19."
It continued: "Fixtures against Aberdeen, Ross County, Rangers and semi-finals/finals are not taken into consideration within the criteria. Our fixtures with Dundee United on 5th December 2021 and Hearts on 26th January 2022 are also not taken into consideration.
"Tickets are priced at £52 per ticket. Eligible season ticket holders can purchase tickets for this match until 2pm on Friday, 23rd December.
"Please note: with ongoing mail strikes, tickets are available to be purchased with two options for delivery: Collect from ticket office; Special delivery next day service - £8.10 per delivery."
