Celtic are waiting on details through from the Scottish Government to reopen Celtic Park.
At lunchtime today the First Minister announced the latest arrangements with plans for all of Scotland to move to level 0 on July 19 with remaining social distancing restrictions removed on August 9.
Celtic host Midtjylland in a Champions League tie on July 20 with a pre-season friendly against Preston coming three days earlier.
Hampden will have 12,500 fans attend tonight’s match between Scotland and Croatia- 25% of capacity which should be the starting point for negotiations for bringing fans back for the new football season.
In terms of how available capacity will be split, I think it will be driven by how many fans we can get in Brian, appreciate this is vague but until there is a definite number that we can work to there’s no indication of what it will look like at the moment

Celtic are currently working on Season Ticket renewals with fans currently in the dark as to how many will be allowed in to watch matches in the 60,000 capacity stadium. The deadline for renewals is Friday, June 25.
The last time that fans attended a home match was 7 March 2020 when over 50,000 watched a 5-0 win over St Mirren thanks to a hat-trick from Leigh Griffiths plus goals from Callum McGregor and Odsonne Edouard.
