Virgin Media customers will have to switch to Premier Sport 2 to watch Celtic’s Europa League play-off tie against Suduva.
A technical problem with Premier Sport 1 has meant that the match has been switched to the other platform (channel 552) which doesn’t have HD. There are no issues with the match on Sky or other providers.
???? | Due to complications with Premier Sports 1 on Virgin, the Celtic game will now also be available on Premier Sports 2 (channel 552) at 6PM. EPG due to be updated shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience

Celtic go into the match looking to put themselves in control of the tie with the return leg in seven days time giving them the opportunity to book a place in the group stage of the Europa League.
Moussa Dembele starts his first match in over a month tonight as Celtic take on Suduva looking for a place in the group phase of the Europa League.
The striker has appeared as a substitute in Celtic’s last two matches and gets the nod tonight ahead of Leigh Griffiths with teenager Mikey Johnston starting on the left wing.
Celtic go into the match with the central defensive partnership that started both matches against Alashkert.
Since Jozo Simunovic was sent off early in the return leg against the Armenian champions the hoops defence has been in the spotlight with Kris Ajer picking up three bookings to miss the return match with AEK Athens while the Dedryck Boyata saga dragged on.
Boyata and Jack Hendry were left behind from the squad that flew to Lithuania yesterday with Rodgers hoping for an accident free 90 minutes to ensure that next week’s return leg is a fairly straightforward task.
CELTIC: Gordon; Gamboa, Ajer, Simunovic, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, McGregor, Johnston; Dembele
SUBS: Bain, Izaguirre, Griffiths, Sinclair, Rogic, Lustig, Kouassi
