Celtic have decided to introduce lower Europa League ticket prices for concessions and U16s.

The Hoops announced ahead of the league phase beginning that a four-match package would go on sale for season ticket holders and then opened up to all fans.

That was priced at £140 for adults, £112 for concessions and £100 for U13s. But for individual match tickets, a universal charge of £45 was set.

This caused outrage amongst Celtic fans with an adult and child ticket costing exactly the same. Now though, the club have made a U-turn.

Who next for Celtic in the Europa League?

Celtic opened their campaign with a respectable point away to Red Star Belgrade, but couldn’t follow that up with a win.

The Bhoys were expected to get a result against Braga, however the Portuguese men ran away with an easy 2-0 victory at Parkhead.

It leaves Celtic with just one point from a possible six heading into next Thursday’s home encounter against Austrian side Sturm Graz.

Sturm Graz are currently top of the Austrian Bundesliga and 22nd in the Europa League league phase table after one win and a defeat.
