CELTIC have announced their fans will get no tickets for next month's possible Champions League qualifier with Linfield in Belfast.
The qualifier had been expected to take place over the Twelfth but will now be held on July 14, provided Linfield beat La Fiorita of San Marino in the second qualifying round of the league.
The original dates of either July 11 or July 12 would have seen Celtic's large travelling support arriving in Belfast over the Twelfth demonstrations, sparking fears of violence.
But following talks with the PSNI, the game has been moved to July 14, with a 5pm kick-off at Windsor Park.
Celtic said last night it was concerned for its supporters' safety, adding "no tickets will be available for Celtic supporters for the match".
In a statement, Celtic said: "Following security concerns raised by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Celtic has taken part in discussions with Linfield and the PSNI over recent days".
"While there can be an option to reverse the fixtures if both clubs agree, during discussions Linfield made it clear that they did not wish to reverse the tie and they wanted to play their home leg first," the club said.
It said it wanted to play the second leg at Celtic Park in Glasgow.
"Following the discussions, it was agreed among the clubs and PSNI and has now been confirmed with UEFA that, should Linfield progress to the second qualifying round, Celtic's UEFA Champions League match against Linfield will take place at Windsor Park on Friday, July 14, with a 5pm kick-off," it said.
"No tickets will be available for Celtic supporters for the match. The safety and security of all Celtic supporters travelling and attending matches is of paramount importance to the club."
