Celtic fans attending the Champions League tie in Dortmund are warned: bring pyros, and you'll be shown the door! 🔥⚽️

As Celtic fans prepare to paint the Signal Iduna Park green and white this week for the much-anticipated Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund, local police have issued a stern warning. Dortmund's police department has extended a warm welcome to supporters but made it crystal clear that pyrotechnics will not be tolerated in the stadium. The message is simple: anyone caught trying to light up the night with flares or smoke bombs will be promptly ejected from the match.

This follows a series of incidents in recent matches where flares were lit, sparking safety concerns and disturbances. The police emphasised that the safety of all fans is paramount and urged Celtic supporters to adhere to the rules. While the atmosphere of football matches can be electrifying, it must be maintained within the safety parameters set by authorities, especially during such high-stakes games.

Celtic fans are known for their passionate support, and it's not unusual to see creativity in their celebrations. However, this weekend, it will be essential for them to channel that energy positively, cheering for their beloved team without resorting to pyrotechnics. Borussia Dortmund's famous Yellow Wall is renowned for its deafening noise and visual displays, and Celtic fans certainly want to join in the fun rather than miss out due to rule-breaking.

In the spirit of camaraderie, following the warning, some Celtic fans have already taken to social media, vowing to keep their fiery spirit alive, albeit without the flares. A significant showdown is on the cards, and both European giants are expected to lock horns fiercely. Let’s hope it’s a match for the ages – celebrated with chants rather than flames!
