Celtic fans to be placed in segregated area at Windsor Park match

A large security operation is expected to be in place across the city for the event.

Celtic fans with tickets for this evening's match against Linfield, despite the Glasgow club turning down its official allocation, will be accommodated in a segregated area of the Belfast stadium.

While Celtic opted not to take up the offer of tickets for travelling fans, citing safety concerns, some supporters have still secured a place inside Windsor Park for the Champions League qualifying clash.
