Brussels park set aside for the Bhoys

Anderlecht and the Belgian Police have reached an agreement to house the overflow of Celtic supporters expected in Brussels for the Champions League game on Tuesday.

Only 2000 visiting fans will be allowed in the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium for the game, although up to 7000 Hoops’ fans are expected to travel to Belgium.

However, Anderlecht have agreed with the authorities to turn part of the Astrid Parc in the city over to Celtic fans to help accommodate the extra numbers and make their stay as comfortable as possible.

According to the Belgian club’s website, www.rsca.be, the area will become a ‘Village-Parc’ for supporters, providing places to eat and drink as well as toilet and washing facilities.

The area will be designated for Celtic fans only from noon onwards on Tuesday.
