Celtic fans issued travel warning ahead of Celta Vigo Europa League clash

Celtic supporters travelling to Thursday night’s Europa League clash against Celta Vigo have been warned of potential traffic disruption near Parkhead.

Fans driving to the stadium could face delays in the Shawfield area of Glasgow, where emergency Scottish Water repairs have resulted in temporary traffic lights being installed.

The disruption is affecting the junction of Shawfield Drive and Shawfield Road, with traffic management measures expected to remain in place until 7pm on Monday, October 26.

Restrictions were initially expected to ease by Wednesday evening, although subsequent updates indicate that the temporary signals will remain in operation throughout Thursday’s European fixture.

Supporters travelling through the area are therefore advised to allow additional time for their journeys or consider alternative routes to Celtic Park.

The warning comes ahead of another important European night for Martin O’Neill’s side, who are searching for their first Europa League points of the campaign.

Having suffered successive defeats against Ferencvaros and Benfica, Celtic will be desperate to get their European campaign back on track against the Spanish opposition.

The Hoops head into the encounter following Sunday’s emphatic 7-1 victory over Hearts, with O’Neill hoping his players can carry that attacking momentum into tonight’s showdown.
