Graeme Souness has pushed Rangers and Celtic to reach an agreement that will allow away fans to attend the game.

The two teams are apparently back in talks after barring visiting fans from the first two games of the season.

but Parkhead officials have safety concerns and would prefer to return to the original allocations.

Souness still considers it the world’s largest fixture and thinks a solution can be struck.

Speaking to the Daily Record, he stated:

“There’s no doubt that having an away support increases the atmosphere at stadiums.

I also understand how difficult it is to coordinate things on the day.

“I understand why we don’t have away supporters, but if we could devise a scenario to make it work,

it would undoubtedly enhance the fixture’s spectacle.

“It is up to all parties concerned to come together and try to make it work.

I’ve heard some people claim that not having away fans is a turnoff, but I wouldn’t agree.

“It remains the world’s biggest derby. “It’s a bucket-list match.”

Meanwhile,

Rangers will allegedly pay an initial £4.5 million to sign Mohamed Diomande.

the move is believed to be unaffected, with only a medical to complete before it is confirmed.
