Price just the ticket for fans

GREG TAYLOR last night tipped Celtic team-mate Leigh Griffiths to solve Scotland’s striker crisis after watching him score his first hat-trick in four years. Griffiths grabbed a treble and an assist as the Hoops demolished St Mirren 5-0 in the Premiership on Saturday. And Parkhead wing-back Taylor, who will be named a week tomorrow in Steve Clarke’s squad for the Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Israel, is convinced his club-mate will be with him. The striker took his tally for the season to 11 but, crucially, eight of them have come since the winter break and Taylor reckons Griffiths can take his red-hot club form on to the international stage.
The defender said: “If Griff keeps doing what he’s doing I’m sure he will be right back in Scotland contention.
“He’s enjoying his football and is a really good option for the national team.
“Griff is scoring goals for Celtic so the national manager will be pleased.
“I have never played with Griff for Scotland. I wasn’t involved back then.
“But he can create goals and score goals so it’s brilliant to have him playing like that.”

CELTIC are set to announce the sale of next year’s season tickets – and fans won’t be getting hit in the pocket despite it being a potentially historic campaign.
The club are closing in on nine-in-a-row with a mammoth 13-point lead at the top of the Premiership.
Record Sport understands season-ticket renewals are set to be announced today and the price will only involve a minimal inflationary rise.
The Hoops will resist the temptation of cashing in despite the possibility of going for a record 10th title on the trot.
They will also continue the £50 deal for under-12s – the popular scheme that works out at under £3 per game for the youngsters.
It’s understood the club want to honour the commitment and backing of the supporters rather than ramping up the costs even when there is expected to be huge demand for tickets.
Celtic have more than 50,000 season-ticket holders – with a waiting list of more than 5000 – and the club is anticipating a massive uptake in briefs for next term.
