CELTIC and Rangers have been named as two of the best-supported clubs in Europe in a UEFA report into the state of European football.
‘The European club footballing landscape’ is an annual report published by European football’s governing body detailing the financial and social health of football across the continent.
Celtic had the ninth-highest aggregate attendance of any European club last season, with 1,092,937 supporters attending league games last season - slightly fewer than Inter Milan in tenth position.
Celtic are one of just 15 clubs that brought in over 1 million spectators during the 2017/18 season.
Rangers, on the other hand, had the 19th-highest attendance overall, with 934,306 fans going to Ibrox last season, leaving the club just above Paris Saint Germain in the standings.
The Scottish Premiership had the seventh-highest average attendance of any European nation, with 15,986 fans attending top flight games on average.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
