CELTIC have the biggest stadium in Scottish football with an attendance of over 60,000.
But that hasn't stopped Premiership rivals Livingston from aiming a cheeky dig at the Hoops on social media - over the stadium's away section.

Celtic host Falkirk tomorrow in the Premier Sports Cup and then face David Martindale's Livi side at the same venue the following Saturday - after the Scottish Champions' first leg against Kairat Almaty.
It's not often that Celtic have THREE home games in a row, with the cup and European schedule allowing that to be the case over the coming 10 days.
But while that might be a positive for Celtic fans, the same can't be said for away supporters, according to Livingston's latest social media post.
The Lions appeared to aim a cheeky and subtle dig at the Scottish champions with a post on X ahead of Saturday's big showdown in the East End of Glasgow.
Like most football clubs, the Almondvale side stuck out a post tonight ahead of the game with ticket information for fans who plan on attending.
But it wasn't just any old post as they also took a swipe at the Hoops' infamous away end in the graphic they uploaded.
The club used an image from behind the steel pillar at Celtic Park which countless away fans have been left furious by in recent years - after having a restricted view of the pitch.
It's a sight away supporters - who have visited the stadium previously - are well aware of and it's fair to say the post has gone down well with fans of other Scottish clubs.
Celtic fans, though, haven't taken the tongue-in-cheek post as well as others.
It has went down a storm on social media with well over 200,000 users viewing it already.
Livingston boss David Martindale opens his heart on life before, during and after prison.. and the managers he admires most
And reacting to the post, one fan wrote: "Absolutely top trolling of Celtic. This is the exact view many away fans get when visiting Celtic."
Another said: "It's funny cos it's true. The most restricted views in world football."
A third commented: "Amazing. Truly the worst stadium for restricted views in Scotland if not the UK."
In a statement on Livingston's website, they revealed fans who wish to be seated with a "non-restricted view" of the game will be charged £36, while those seated behind the pillar will need to pay £33.
