CELTIC fans have expressed some concerns about Covid passports which were enforced ahead of their team's Europa League clash today. 

Hoops supporters this afternoon had to show proof of being double vaccinated in order to gain entry to the game against Ferencvaros at Parkhead. 

It was the first time in the country where people could be denied entry to an event of more than 10,000 if they failed to show their certificate during a random spot check.

And while things went swiftly some supporters raised doubts about the controversial scheme, which had initially been delayed amid problems with a mobile phone app. 

Dermot Hainey, 21, from Falkirk, said: "I'm here to watch the football.

Glasgow Times:

"I don't know why we should have to have one when England and Wales don't.

"I just think it's a bit unfair.

"I have my Covid passport at the ready, but it's borderline discrimination."

We also spoke to Ashley Murphy, 35, and she said: "I don't mind it because I've been double vaccinated. So, it's totally fine.

"But, I go to the football with my brother and my nephew and they're anti-vaxxers. They've paid a lot of money to come and they're not going to be able to come so that's a bit rotten!

Glasgow Times:

"They're not getting any money back, well I don't know if they've actually asked but I don't imagine that Celtic's going to give you any money back because they obviously never went last season and they got a £50 gift voucher for the Celtic superstore.

"So, I don't imagine they're going to give you money back for not having the vaccine." 

The Banknock woman added: "It's meant to be a choice, but really the choice is taken away because if you don't have the vaccine, you basically can't go to anything!"

As there were a few protestors, Ashley said: "I don't mind the protestors. I'm happy to support both.

Glasgow Times:

"See, to be honest, I'm only double vaccinated because I'm going on holiday, so I need it for the holiday aspect.

"I had a really bad experience with the first vaccine and the second vaccine. I wasn't going to get the second vaccine but I needed it for my holiday. I got it last Sunday and this is the first day I've actually felt quite normal."

Ashley's friend then came and joined the conversation, after purchasing his scarf for the game.

He said: "The covid passport is needed to get back to normality.  It's a sacrifice you have to take to help each other out I suppose.

Glasgow Times:

"They're not saying it's forced but what they're doing to enforce people to get the jag is 'oh you can't get here, there and everywhere'."

Glasgow Times:

Ashley agreed and said: "Is it a choice though?"

Leaving it on a high, the both of them were "unbelievably excited for the game", as "European afternoons, are just as good as European nights."

Celtic won the game 2-0 to get their Europa League campaign back on track.
