CELTIC supporters will be given special visas to watch their team take on Qarabag in Azerbaijan.

Club officials confirmed they had secured a 'visa on arrival' service for fans planning to travel for the Hoops' UEFA Champions League qualifying match.

The first leg against Qarabag – who won 1-0 at Rudar Pljevlja – will go ahead at Parkhead next Wednesday night.

A statement from Celtic added: "Fans who have booked travel and accommodation should email Supporter Liaison Officer John Paul Taylor at jptaylor@celticfc.co.uk with details of client code, flight information and accommodation details for your stay in Baku.

"This will be supplied to the Azerbaijan Visa Centre who will provide letters to travel and all fans with these letters will be issued with Visas on arrival in Baku.

"This information needs to be supplied by close of business on Tuesday July 28.

"The club hope this will help in providing the team with as much backing as possible for this important match."
