Thousands of Celta Vigo fans have arrived at Celtic Park, with it expected to be the Spanish club’s largest-ever away day following. It's currently unknown if there are any injuries.
Celtic's ultras group are not due to be in the stands for the game. In protest at the board, they confirmed in a statement they would boycott the remaining European home fixtures and all Scottish Cup matches.
The Record has approached Police Scotland for comment.
