Celtic ticket exchange clamour addressed by club as cautious timeline emerges for supporters' ultimate wish

Celtic supporter liaison officer John Paul Taylor has revealed a ticket exchange scheme it is not expected to be put in place for fans by next season.

Similar initiatives are already in place at fellow Scottish Premiership side Hearts, which allows season ticket holders who cannot make a home game would put their ticket into a trade where it it is sold to another supporter. Some fans watching on the outside in Glasgow's east end have pointed to empty seats being spotted during some games - such as midweek fixtures or night fixtures where it can prove more difficult for punters to attend.

While the proposal has proved popular among Celtic fans it looks unlikely that it will be put in place next season as the club look to defend the league title under Brendan Rodgers after season books sold out again. Queried by a supporter online for an update on Twitter, Taylor said: "(It) Is being looked at but don’t think will be next season though."
