The well-established Celtic Underground has dropped a cryptic tweet suggesting that 1,000 fans will be inside Celtic Park on July 25.
Shortly beforehand the Scottish Government had given their approval for test cases as clubs look to bring supporters back inside football grounds.
Keep 25th July free in your diary. Well 1000 of you anyway.

July 25 is the weekend before the new season starts which is traditionally the time for managers to apply the finishing touches to their pre-season work. Celtic are currently training at Loughborough University with matches arranged in France for July 16, 18 and 21.
With only other SPFL Premiership clubs back in training the logical step would be to invite one of the French teams that face are facing for a return match in Glasgow.
Celtic open their domestic season with a match against Hamilton Accies on August 2 which will at best be played before a greatly reduced attendance.
Selecting 1,000 fans to attend the match will be a big issue but going on current Government advice it is likely that Glasgow based fans under the age of 40 will be given preference.
