Strachan: Matches too expensive for fans

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan believes cost rather than over-confidence kept thousands of Hoops fans way from their last two Bank of Scotland Premier League home games.

Official attendances given for the 1-0 win over Falkirk on Saturday and the 2-2 draw with Dundee United on St Stephen's Day were given as 55,000 and 57,343 respectively but given the empty seats all round Celtic Park, it seemed that many season-ticket holders had stayed at home.
