Celtic start their Europa League journey tonight against Red Star Belgrade.
The ticket allocation for the Belgrade tie were snapped up by the travelling Celtic supporters as Brendan Rodgers gets the full backing of fans.
However, at home, Celtic have released tickets for general sale for the Europa League ties against SC Braga on the 2nd of October and Sturm Graz on the 23rd.
And how the tickets sales are going for the visit of Braga to Celtic Park hints toward how fans are feeling toward the Parkhead board.
Celtic ticket sales for Celtic vs SC Braga hints to fan unrest continuing
It’s worth noting that there is still plenty of time left for fans to buy tickets for both Europa League ties but for once, after general release, the games have not sold out within minutes.
Now, we get it’s not the Champions League and the teams that Celtic face are not of the calibre that fans have been used to over the years, but the uptake for the Braga and Sturm Graz game has been slow.
For the SC Braga game, there are only 20 sections out of the 80 at Celtic Park that have sold out. And that includes the guaranteed sales in the North Curve.
Zooming into the stadium layout on the Celtic ticketing website, the corner of the stadium that joins the North Stand and the Jock Stein stand has gaping holes in the availability for tickets.
In the top tier of the North Stand there are plenty of tickets left, as is the lower tier of the Lisbon Lions stand.

This match is over four weeks away but, again, the demand for tickets and the uptake has been poor.
As with the sales for the SC Braga match, there are plenty of tickets left for sale with larger gaping holes in the stands listed above.
It seems that the recent fan unrest is having a negative effect on the ticket sales but fans will have a better idea of this when kick off approaches for the big game next week.
