[illdecide]

I'd be very surprised if there were not a few celts lying in the gutter somewhere tonight after you the game with the crop that's going on at the main with the loyalists and their peaceful protesting...

I hope the Celts fans have a change of clothes with them !




Belfast city centre shirt warning for Celtic fans Glasgow Celtic players train at Solitude on Tuesday Continue reading the main story

Glasgow Celtic football fans have been urged not to wear club colours in Belfast city centre on Wednesday.

The advice has come from officials of Cliftonville FC, who play the Scottish side in a UEFA Champions League game.

Cliftonville director David Begley said: "Belfast city centre is a very welcoming place.

"But people are very sensitive about colours, not just this week. As a result, it´s probably best to avoid wearing colours into the city centre."

The sides meet in a second qualifying round, first leg game at Cliftonville's Solitude ground in north Belfast. Kick-off is 19:45 BST on Wednesday.

Hundreds of Celtic fans are expected to travel to Northern Ireland for the game.

Mr Begley added: "This has nothing to do with politics, it's the same sort of advice Manchester United fans would be given about walking about Liverpool on a match day."

The advice comes after five nights of unrest in parts of the city after an Orange Order parade was banned from marching on a stretch of the Crumlin Road in north Belfast that separates loyalist and nationalist communities.

You'll struggle to watch the game tonight as i believe the only channel showing the game is Swedish TV...WTF is it about games at Celtic Park...BBC Scotland are showing the return leg next week but why the hell will no-one show the home games.

I'm a bit wary of this game tonight...not to confident tbh.

Fair enough but what about BBC, ITV, Setanta, Sky, RTE etc i know some of them there might not have the rights to it but surley some of them do have but never show the home games...why?

[All of a Sludden]

Don't know, I assume it is down to broadcasting rights. I was disappointed no one showed last weeks game v Cliftonville, couldn't even get a link for it, which is rare.

[No Soloing]

I dont know if this is true, but it has been explained to me before that Celtic dont sell the rights to their home CL qualifiers in order to get a bigger attendance at Parkhead. Would it be feasible that they could make more money from a bit of a bigger crowd than they could from selling this one match to tv? I dont know, but it seems to fit the pattern over the last few years - home qualifiers do not tend to be on tv, away ones may be
