SPFL gearing up for full houses for New Year derbies for first time in three seasons

The SPFL is preparing to welcome full crowds to its New Year derbies for the first time in three years - with around 100,000 supporters set to attend games across the country.

The league matches taking place on Monday 2 January will be the first to have been played with no pandemic restrictions on festive attendances since season 2019/20.

In season 2021/22, the introduction of fresh restrictions led to cinch Premiership matches across 2/3 January being postponed until later in the month, while cinch Championship, cinch League 1 and cinch League 2 games were only allowed a limit of 500 fans.
