The statement also reiterates the need to stay vigilant today in the run-up to the game with Lazio ultras likely not done trying to cause trouble.

We have reported on what’s been happening in the last 12 hours but the best first hand account came from a well-spoken Celtic fan who spoke to Clyde One this morning – read here.
For the most part, the trip so far has looked to be a great experience for the supporters who made the journey to Rome. From sightseeing to having an audience with the Pope in Vatican square!
As we get closer to the 6pm kick-off this evening, the need to be aware of the danger the Italian thugs pose is great. Hopefully last night’s problems will be the last of what’s going on.
