Image: New Fencing Emerges Outside Celtic Park Away End

Celtic return to comPetitive action in just over a week as Kilmarnock come to Parkhead on Flag Day.

Set to be a special occasion, the Game has already sold out as the Hoops get set to kick off their title defence.

Indeed, ahead of the new season, new fencing has emerged just outside the away concourse at the home of the champions.

Construction work began at the beginning of the month for new security gates and fencing, modifications to existing fences, and the creation of new gates and access steps.

The area is beginning to look revamped:

These increased security measures aren’t being put in place for fans of regular domestic sides such as Kilmarnock, St. Johnstone, and the like but rather, for Rangers fans.

Away crowds are finally returning to Glasgow derbies this season and in sizeable numbers; 2,500 Gers supporters will make their way to the home of the champions on September 1st.

The Game kicks off at 12.30 pm as Brendan Rodgers looks to continue his impeccable record against the Ibrox side.
