Celtic has issued a strong reminder to their fans heading to Hampden for the Scottish League Cup semi-final clash with Aberdeen, stressing the importance of refraining from using pyrotechnics in the stadium.
Following a recent fine from UEFA for a pyro display during a match against Borussia Dortmund, the club and Brendan Rodgers have made their objections clear. Despite receiving praise for their respectful support during the game against Atalanta in Italy, Celtic is emphasizing the need for compliance once more.
In a post on the official Celtic website, fans are urged to support the team positively and maintain the club’s reputation by avoiding fireworks, smoke bombs, and other pyrotechnics due to safety concerns.
During the recent match against Rangers, Aberdeen showcased a display of pyrotechnics and flags, which was promoted on their social media channels. The victory for Aberdeen widened the gap between themselves and Rangers in the standings, putting them in third place.
Both teams are in top form heading into tonight’s showdown, with an undefeated record in domestic competitions so far this season. Their previous encounter in the Scottish Premiership resulted in a draw, setting the stage for an exciting and competitive match.
