The President of the Scottish Football Association says there are no extra tickets for Ireland fans hoping to travel to Glasgow for the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifier at Celtic Park.

The FAI has complained to their Scottish counter-parts over their ticket allocation of just 5 per cent of the Celtic Park stadium capacity, which equates to just over 3,200 tickets.

SFA president Campbell Ogilvie has told Sky Sports News that they will manage the situation if Irish supporters end up in the "home" sections.

"I'd like to think that supporters from both teams can actually come to the game together. When we go abroad. Scotland get an allocation for our supporters scattered throughout the stadium and there are no problems. So I would like to see that transmitted back here for the Republic game," he said.

The FAI has come under severe criticism itself from some fan groups for their handling of ticket allocations for Ireland away fans.
