Celtic will be handed around 3,600 tickets for their upcoming Champions League game against Lazio.

The club's Supporter Liason Officer has revealed the allocation on social media.

The last time the Hoops faced Lazio in Rome was in November 2019. Around 9,000 Celtic fans were inside the Stadio Olimpico to watch Neil Lennon's side pick up a famous victory in the Europa League. Olivier Ntcham scored in the final moments to secure a 2-1 win for the Scottish champions.

This time around, in the Champions League, Brendan Rodgers' team will head to Italy on Tuesday, November 28 knowing that they need to win to keep any hopes of maintaining European football post-Christmas alive.

Celtic sit bottom of their group on just one point. They could still finish third though, so they're not totally down and out, but they'll need to beat Lazio and Feyenoord and hope for a favour from Atletico Madrid.

However, they won't have as strong a backing as they did during their last visit to the Italian capital.

John Paul Taylor, Celtic's SLO replied to a fan on X. He wrote: "Been advised it'll be 3,600 although we don't have them yet. Will be QR Codes on phones for this one and names and passport will need to match, will update as soon as we get more info."

Meanwhile, it was not a night that anyone connected with Celtic will care to remember. But if they don’t face the facts of what happened to them in the Estadio Metropolitano on Tuesday evening, then it will have been a futile endeavour in every conceivable way.

That is the opinion of a still slightly punch-drunk Alistair Johnston, who was dazed by the experience of what Atletico Madrid did to him and his teammates, particularly after they went down to 10 men with the dismissal of Daizen Maeda.

They were already a goal behind by that stage, but the rampant La Liga outfit stuck a further five past Joe Hart, and Johnston is candid enough to accept that even the 6-0 scoreline probably flattered his team a bit.
