A massive support for Feyenoord appear to be buying up Celtic end tickets for Wednesday’s Champions League tie.

When the draw was made at the end of August a trip to Glasgow was the priority for thousands of Dutch fans, visiting the club that their most famous side had beaten in the European Cup Final 52 years earlier.

In the same way as Celtic fans regard Inter Milan, the fans of Feyenoord look on the hoops with many links built up in recent years with Ajax a common enemy.

The Amsterdam club have played three European ties at Celtic Park since the early eighties, now it seems that hundreds of Feyenoord fans will be sitting among home supporters for the final group stage match of the season.

After being knocked out of Europe entirely on Matchday 5 Celtic have ‘only’ a 2.8m euros prize to play for tomorrow night.

With six points from their return to the top competition Feyenoord have booked a place in the Europa League as well as re-establishing their reputation with home wins over Celtic and Lazio.
