Celtic fans have been warned that pandemic regulations are being tightened in the North Rhine Westphalia state of Germany next week.
Around 2,000 fans are expected to make the trip to Leverkusen as Ange Postecoglou’s side look for a third successive Europa League win to make the final group match against Real Betis a decider.
It is 21 months since Celtic fans were able to support their team in Copenhagen but the travel situation is fast moving with restrictions being tightened across Europe including Holland, Germany and Austria.
1/? here which might be of special interest to Celtic fans who follow and who are planning on going to Leverkusen next week. (Also to anyone heading to NRW.)
The state of NRW has announced initial plans for more restrictions with more details expected in the next few days.— Derek Rae (@RaeComm) November 17, 2021
2/ As of next week, only vaxxed or those with proof of recent recovery can go to:
cinemas, concerts, restaurants, bars, Christmas markets & football stadia. (ie 2G rules.)
– In addition, 2G+ for admission to carnival festivities or nightclubs. (That is a negative test plus 2G.)— Derek Rae (@RaeComm) November 17, 2021
Earlier in the campaign Celtic were given the green light to take tickets for the match away to Real Betis but a week before the match those tickets were cancelled.
Away to Ferencvaros there was never an allocation of tickets but the attractions of Budapest are strong with over 500 fans making the trip while many with European Vaccine Passports were able to buy tickets and watch the match.
