Celtic Park welcomes Scotland fans

Last updated : 02 September 2006 By J Cole
Scotland Fans are being made welcome today at the home of the biggest and best known Scottish club. 42000 tickets have been sold so far and the Celtic ticket office will be open right up to kick off time if you fancy going along at the last minute. Family section tickets are £15 and adult tickets are on sale at £15, £18, and £25


Today will be the first real test for the new turnstyles as all tickets will be paper ones today and barcode readers will be used to read every ticket. This will also be the case for Celtic's champions League games and todays game should help iron out any teething troubles with the barcode readers.


Celtic park is without doubt the best venue in Scotland for a football game and the Scotland fans will be in for a treat.

Hampden which is without doubt the spiritual home of Scottish football is booked for the Robbie Williams concert and the SFA have been heavily criticised for their shortsightedness but in reality the SFA have maximised profits by staging both events at the same time and in the process have given the fans the chance of going to a ground with a much better atmosphere.

It was thought at first that many Rangers fans would boycott the game because it was in a ground far superior to their own and they did not want to add to Celtic's profits but this notion was knocked on the head when it was pointed out that most Rangers fans were England supporters anyway and would not be seen dead at a Scotland game. Good Luck Scotland
