It’s about damn time Nippy!
Capacity crowds are welcome again in Scottish Fitba, and most importantly, at Celtic Park.
️ It has been too long since we have heard the roar of a packed Paradise, and we cannot wait to welcome you home to Celtic Park! #OneClubSince1888 | #COYBIG

Here’s the statement in full:
We are delighted to announce that we have received confirmation from the local Safety Advisory Group that following Tuesday’s Scottish Government announcement and positive reviews of recent matches and associated protocols, full capacity crowds will now be permitted at Celtic Park from Monday, August 9 onwards.
It has been too long since we have heard the roar of a packed Paradise, and we cannot wait to welcome you home to Celtic Park!
We have been working relentlessly behind the scenes to bring our supporters back, and we are thrilled to finally be able to make this announcement.
Once again we would like to thank you for your assistance and co-operation in working within the established matchday protocols, something which has been crucial in delivering this attendance.
Celtic Chief Executive Dom McKay said: “I would like to thank our fans for all the fantastic support they have given us in reaching these levels. I would especially like to thank our staff for their tireless efforts and hard work in getting us to this stage.
“Our team have been a leading force in Scottish sport, writing and exercising protocols and procedures to allow us to return to train and play. Now, through their hard work and leadership, we are finally welcoming you, our fans, back where you belong. I must also thank the Scottish Government, Glasgow City Council and the Safety Advisory Group for all their co-operation.”
Sales information relating to FK Jablonec next Thursday, August 12 will follow shortly. Due to ongoing UEFA protocols for the month of August, we are unable to offer some seasonal seats for UEL games, but alternative seats will be offered to Season Ticket holders affected by these protocols.
Is this all down to Reidzo? Not for us to say but yes!
I asked Dom about the prospect of fans coming back, he said that if fans in good number can attend games at Hampden and Murrayfield, there’s no reason why that can’t happen at Celtic Park, he’s meeting with the government regularly about it

The good news however ends on a sour note with the news that the club are charging £19 for the game next week!
An open goal, a tap in if you will, for a full stadium to be rocking again for the first time since March 2020 and these out of touch idiots STILL can’t put the ball in the net like Inzaghi!
