We’ve been waiting for the day some of us can get back to watching Celtic from the stands.
Today, there’s a more clear outlook on when this can happen but we’re just not sure when Glasgow will be eligible.
The new tier system which will come into play on November 2 in Scotland specifies a limited amount of supporters will be allowed in open air stadiums in level 0 and Level 1.
Stadia can open to restricted numbers of spectators in Level 1 and Level 0 of the 5-tier lockdown system in Scotland.

Both these levels were achieved over the summer when the virus was suppressed, but since returning sharply, we’re likely to be level 2, 3 or 4 to begin with when the new system comes into play.
To attain the level, the rate of infection would have to considerably fall.
So there’s no supporters in yet but, the minute Glasgow falls into a level 1, Celtic should be allowed to bring some supporters back as long as certain conditions are met.
The club have been working hard and have just about everything in place for a phased return. It’s just when we’re allowed to do so.
