It’s a return to Paradise for the Celts this weekend as their pre-season preparations continue, with Blackburn Rovers the visitors on Saturday, July 16.

It’s a 12:30pm kick-off against the English Championship side and a sold-out Celtic Park will welcome the Scottish Champions back home.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Paradise! Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Celtic v Blackburn Rovers.

ARRIVE EARLY

The stadium will open from 11am and we ask supporters to arrive as early as possible to avoid congestion.

SAFETY INFORMATION

We would like to remind all spectators that, unless otherwise directed by stewards, you must only sit in your allocated seat at Celtic Park and must not stand in or block any passageways, staircases or vomitories. Similarly, migration to other parts of the stadium, including the Rail Seating Section is not permitted as this also may lead to an unsafe environment, ticketing issues or overcrowding. We appreciate your co-operation in allowing us to maintain a safe, comfortable and enjoyable environment at Celtic Park for all of our supporters.

TRAVEL SAFELY TO CELTIC PARK

We recommend you make your way to the stadium by car, bike or on foot. If travelling by car, please park responsibly. A full list of travel options can be found online.

Supporters in the North Stand who enter via the underpass are requested to please keep to your left at all times – both pre and post-match. Supporters in the Upper Tier are also asked to use the stairway nearest to them when exiting the stadium. Please also note that the North Stand External Centre Gates will close temporarily at full-time.
