Celtic are offering an online pay-per-view service (PPV) for tomorrow’s match at home to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.
The stream will cost supporters within the UK & Ireland £12.99, with the broadcast hosted by Gerry McCulloch, John Hartson and Simon Donnelly.
However, fans based in England will not be able to purchase the service due to UEFA broadcasting rules.
The club said today: “Due to UEFA broadcasting rules, it’s not possible for StreamDigital to offer live matches between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on a Saturday to supporters located in England. As a result, the PPV service for this weekend’s match is on sale to those in other areas of the UK & Ireland only.”
That will cut off a significant portion of the potential audience, with many Celtic fans both based in England and unable to travel to Paradise.
Supporters outside the country will still be able to watch the fixture as a subscriber to Celtic TV.
Season ticket holders can also tune in for no additional cost via the Pass To Paradise service.
Celtic face St Johnstone knowing three points are needed to put maximum pressure on Rangers, who don’t play until Sunday. A victory tomorrow will move the Bhoys to within one point of our rivals.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have been in good form of late. Tuesday’s convincing win over Ferencvaros has given supporters renewed confidence that the team are on the right track under the Australian.
A large crowd will again be in attendance tomorrow, but the fans who can’t make it to Paradise at least have a great option at an affordable price with these PPV plans.
In other news, Ange delivers the latest on James Forrest’s Celtic return; it sounds good.
