As the international week rumbles on, the Celtic fans will be looking forward to the resumption of Scottish Premiership and Champions League action.

For now, the Celtic fans still have interest in the international break as 67 Hail Hail told of Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate’s mixed fortunes in Japan’s 7-0 win over China this afternoon.

Domestically, Celtic will play Hearts at home on the 14th of September in the hope of stretching the lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

But in the Champions League, Brendan Rodgers faces some tasty ties in which to test Celtic with games against Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Atalanta, Aston Villa, Dinamo Zagreb, Young Boys Slovan Bratislava and Club Brugge.

However, it’s at Villa where much of the controversy is as the Premier League club’s fans share their disgust at what they are charging to watch their team play against Europe’s elite.

And it’s a far cry from what Celtic fans will be charged.

UEFA cap away fan ticket prices

In England, the news headlines have lit up by Aston Villa after they set their home ticket prices for the Champions League.

Season ticket holders are being charged between £70 and £82 depending on where their seats are in Villa Park.

Non-season-ticket holders will pay between £85 and £97 with under 18s ranging from £20 to £97. And it’s caused uproar amongst the Villa Park supporters.

However, the Celtic fans will not be charged anywhere near that due to UEFA taking action and price capping what travelling supporters will pay across the whole tournament.

The governing body has directed clubs to charge no more than €60 [£50.56] for all games in the UEFA Champions League.

UEFA explain Champions League price cap

It’s a move that is sure to be popular amongst all football fans as the travelling support can, at times, be charged more than what home supporters pay.

UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin, explained the move and said that the cap will help improve the matchday experience for all supporters.

Ceferin told the UEFA website, “Today’s decision marks another key step in reaffirming UEFA’s commitment to enhancing the matchday experience for all fans.

“By introducing more fan-friendly policies, we continue our mission to keep football as an inclusive sport where supporters who travel across Europe to follow their teams are valued and recognised.”
