Celtic Fans Halt Dundee United Match with Tangerines Protest Over Ticket Prices

Celtic fans disrupted their team's Premiership match against Dundee United by throwing tangerines onto the pitch in protest of increased ticket prices for away supporters, which reached up to £42. The demonstration, which included the display of a banner reading 'Enjoy the fruits of our labour,' caused a delay of several minutes as players and officials cleared the fruit. Celtic had officially raised concerns with the Scottish Professional Football League over the pricing, while Dundee United cited additional policing and staffing costs as reasons for the hike. The protest was accompanied by vocal chants criticizing the pricing, and home fans were offered a contrasting promotional deal. The incident highlights ongoing tensions over ticket affordability and club policies in Scottish football. The match also included a minute's silence for Pope Francis, observed by both teams and fans.
