Celtic season ticket holders will automatically qualify for a free virtual ticket to stream home matches on their book.
At lunch-time today the SPFL announced that they had reached agreement with Sky Sports that clubs can offer their own fans direct access to home matches.

John Paul Taylor was quick to react to the news and while it was expected it is good to get confirmation directly from the club.
Sky Sports has exclusive rights to 48 SPFL Premiership matches which is likely to include all 19 Celtic away matches, two home Glasgow derbies and probably two other home fixtures.
Celtic TV’s international subscribers already have access to home matches with this service now about to be offered to domestic fans as well.
The in-house nature of Celtic TV has caused regular technical issues over the years but with a much larger take up the club should be able to invest in better quality production.
