Celtic confirm reduced Real Madrid ticket allocation as club makes Champions League travel plea

Celtic have confirmed that they will receive a reduced allocation for their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

The Hoops were drawn against the Spanish giants in the group stage of the competition yesterday, alongside RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk. The two meetings with the 14-times winners of the competition are the standout games for the Premiership champions on their return to this stage of the tournament for the first time in five years.

It's sure to be an electric night under the lights when Carlo Ancelotti brings his side to Glasgow. There’s also the prospect of visiting the famous Bernabeu in the Spanish capital for the travelling Hoops fans. The sides have only played each other competitively and that was roughly 50 years ago. Celtic fans will no doubt travel en masse anyway, but the club have today confirmed that they will not receive the amount of tickets punters would be hoping for.
