Around 4,000 Celtic fans are taking advantage of fine autumn weather in Leipzig as they prepare for tonight’s match with RB Leipzig.
Ange Postecoglou’s squad is without some key players for tonight’s match but the 12th Man will be out in force as the hoops look for a decisive result in their bid to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
The German football experience is one of the most welcoming in Europe, on matchday public transport takes ticketholders to the venue where they can buy reasonably priced food and drink.
After the problems of the last two seasons ‘trips’ are certainly back in fashion as supporters from all parts enjoy a few days of travel sampling something different although Celtic were in Leipzig as recently as 2018.

The earlier kick-off time, 6.45pm locally, should provide plenty of post-match socialising opportunities.
No Green, White & Gold paint bombed walls there I’m pleased to see !
Rest assured there’s every chance they’d have been splattered red, white & blue or worse if Sevco were in Town…
