CELTIC supporters tonight blasted the SNP over restrictions on football stadia capacity as they hoisted a banner during the clash with St Mirren.

Scottish Government curbs, which come into force on Boxing Day, will see just 500 fans allowed into grounds for football matches.

It's part of a number of rules introduced as part of a three-week circuit breaker.

Celtic fans slammed the decision to restrict capacity as they cited the COP26 summit earlier this year.

The event saw thousands of world leaders and delegates descend on Glasgow for the UN Climate Change Conference.

The expletive banner read: "Open your homes for Cop26.

"But closed doors for fans. F*** the SNP".

The SPFL tonight confirmed the winter break for the Scottish Premiership will begin after the fixtures on Boxing Day - with it rought forward from January 3.

It means clubs will play the December 26 matchday in front on just 500-strong crowds, but there is hope restrictions will be eased for when matches resume.

The fixtures scheduled for December 29 and January 2 will instead take place on January 17/18 and February 1/2.
