Ange Postecoglou believes the 50/50 split at Hampden will add to the 'theatre' of the Old Firm showdown and create a 'real derby atmosphere'.
In recent times the home side out of Celtic and Rangers pretty much occupy the full stadium at either Parkhead of Ibrox with the travelling support handed a small section of tickets. But with the League Cup Final at the national stadium, the rivals will have an even split which the Hoops boss believes will really add something to the occasion.
The 57-year-old lifted the Viaplay Cup - known at that point as the Premier Sports Cup - last season as his first ever trophy at Celtic and he is eyeing up making it successive wins in the competition as he looks to bring an end to Michael Beale's unbeaten run as Rangers boss. On the ticket split at Hampden and if it creates a different vibe around the game, he said: "I think it does, yeah. It's a different atmosphere, it's a real derby atmosphere. Obviously when we play at Ibrox or Celtic Park, the atmosphere is very parochial in one way.
