Tom Boyd wants Celtic and Rangers bumper derby away crowds back as he admits 'it's not the same'

Tom Boyd wants to see a return of bumper away crowds at derby matches.

The Celtic hero was at Parkhead last weekend as Ange Postecoglou's men defeated arch rivals Rangers 3-2 to move 12 points clear at the Premiership summit and edge one step closer to making it back to back league crowns. The Light Blues supporters were locked out of the clash as the ticket war rumbles on, with the Hoops set to face a similar scenario when they head for Ibrox in the league split.

Boyd says there was a great atmosphere in Glasgow's east end but admits it is NOT the same as having a large band of travelling fans. He sensed a 'nervousness' at times amongst the home support and if a goal is conceded the place just goes completely silent. That is not the case when two sets of fans are going at it with a constant wall of noise.
