CELTIC Football Club have refused their allocation of tickets over security concerns for the UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign should they play Linfield away.
The decision follows security concerns raised by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The Parkhead club were drawn against Linfield or La Fiorita of San Marino with the away leg due to be played first, on 11 or 12 July, and the home leg to be played at Celtic Park on 18 or 19 July.
In a statement Celtic FC said: "No tickets will be available for Celtic supporters for the match. The safety and security of all Celtic supporters travelling and attending matches is of paramount importance to the club."
Should Linfield progress to the Second Qualifying Round, Celtic’s UEFA Champions League match against them will take place at Windsor Park on Friday, July 14, with a 5pm kick-off.
