 “We’re expecting up to 2800 Man City fans to make the journey north for the game, some of whom will be in Glasgow the night before the match and others making the journey on the day.

“Whenever you get to Glasgow, we hope you have a good time and you can help us make sure that’s the case by heeding the following advice and information.

“Some fans will be travelling independently, using their own or public transport rather than on supporters’ buses, so we would advise that if you’re making your own way to the ground – know the route and get to the ground in plenty time.

“Remember also that drinking alcohol in public is an offence and if you’re drunk, you won’t get into the ground.”

Supt Hargreaves added: “Man City fans had to pre-order their tickets – you can’t buy a ticket at the ground on the night.  Celtic has made it clear that fans without tickets will not be permitted entry to the stadium.

 “If you have any issues, please speak to the officers who will in the city centre and in and around Celtic Park.”
