For the first time in 22 years fans will be able to stand and watch a game at Celtic Park today.
Bundesliga side Wolfsborg are the opponents with the idea for safe standing imported directly from Germany.
Safe Standing is completely different from old style terracing with each fan having a dedicated place and a rail that can be converted to seating for UEFA matches.
The spectacle and atmosphere created by German fans has made a big impression with the reintroduction of standing a victory for fans who have campaigned for the change over a number of years.

Confirming the move in May Celtic chief Peter Lawwell said: “Celtic has worked tirelessly on this issue and we are delighted that this permission has finally been granted.
“The introduction of rail seating at Celtic Park represents an investment in spectator safety. Across football globally, the reality is that some supporters are choosing to stand at matches.
“This is something we must accept and manage and also understand the positive effect which these areas have on atmosphere at matches.
“Celtic’s primary objective will always be the safety and comfort of its supporters – this new system will now allow fans to stand safely at matches.
“Rail seating has been in place in European football for some time and there has been considerable demand for some form of ‘safe standing’ within the UK and particularly from our supporters.
“We are sure the rail seating section will prove very popular with supporters and we look forward to its introduction.
“I would like to thank Glasgow City Council for their support in delivering this measure and for the backing they have given to Celtic’s focus on safety at matches.”
