CELTIC return to Paradise for two pre-season friendly matches against Ross County this Sunday, July 26 (KO: 1pm) and Hibernian on Monday, July 27 (KO: 1.30pm).

Neil Lennon’s side will use these two games as further preparation ahead of the start of the Premiership season, when the Scottish champions face Hamilton at home on Sunday, August 2.

The Hoops have already played three tough games in France this month, against Nice, Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain, and on Sunday they take on the Highland side. The following day, Jack Ross’ Hibernian team will be the visitors to Paradise.

Both of these games, against Ross County on Sunday and Hibernian on Monday, will be played behind closed doors and supporters are urged NOT to come to the stadium.

Both matches will also be test games for the ‘Pass To Paradise’, the virtual element of the 2020/21 season ticket, and season ticket holders will be able to watch the games at home and cheer on the Bhoys.

The games are in addition to the matches included as part of the 2020/21 Season Ticket offering and provides an opportunity for the club and season ticket holders alike to get used to the virtual services element ahead of the new season starting.

Every Season Ticket holder will be sent their individual Pass to Paradise username and password so you can login and watch every minute of the action as the Bhoys make their long awaited return to Celtic Park.

We are doing our best to make the ‘Pass to Paradise’ as easy as possible for you to access and use, however, we are asking you to bear with us as we launch the platform. We will have a technical support team in place to help with any enquiries you may have. Details on how to contact the team will be included with your login details.

The login process for these matches will be the same for any future fixtures, so we would ask all Season Ticket holders to join us for these fixtures to validate your login credentials and test your use of the services to make sure you are fully up and running before the Champions kick-off their 2020/21 season against Hamilton.

As this is a new way to watch the Champions, here are the answers to some of the key questions you may have.

Season Ticket holders will receive an email or letter from the club arriving this week (depending on the contact information we have for you) with your Pass to Paradise username and password.

We cannot wait for football to return to Paradise, and we wish we could have you here with us - until we can do so, we are committed to doing our very best to bring Paradise to you.
