Celtic fans travelling out to Rome next month for the Europa League clash against Lazio will come under some “very strict entry rules” it has been revealed.
Celtic supporters liaison officer John Paul Taylor tweeted an update from the Italian capital on Wednesday afternoon. Taylor had been at the Stadio Olimpico for a briefing on what security measures would be in place for our visit on November 7th – and he revealed that Celtic fans will be watched closely.
He wrote: “At Lazio today. Very strict entry rules will be applied. Details to follow.”
Lazio is an enticing away trip for Celtic fans
Neil Lennon’s men will be backed by around 9,000 fans in Italy for what promises to be an enthralling Europa League clash. The trip to Rome is undoubtedly the best one for supporters with ease of travel, weather and timing all considered.
Italy can be a bizarre place to visit at the best of times but with Lazio under UEFA punishment, extra security may be in place. In recent years we have visited AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and Udinese and the away trips have been run with varied success.
Details of what strict measures will be in place will be revealed in due course.
