A number of clubs, like Hearts, Celtic and Rangers have reduced away allocations, while there have been no away allocations at recent clashes when Glasgow's two biggest sides have met.

Cormack believes there should be a minimum five per cent of a stadium's allocation given to visiting fans although that could be increased provided it is reciprocated in the away fixture.

The Aberdeen chairman said: "My view is it is healthy to have a healthy number of away fans at games. I remember back in the day, being at Ibrox and Celtic Park where we had 3,000 fans there. You get a great atmosphere.
