Celtic's away allocation for the Champions League match against Aston Villa has been reduced.
The Parkhead club were initially told they would receive around 2500 briefs for the league phase match at the end of January.
However, that has now been dropped to 2100 according to a Celtic supporter liaison officer update.
We won't get that, they initially indicated c. 2500 but then said 2100. Now West Mids Police are getting involved and could be further reduced, we are waiting on an update from them, will update as soon as we know

SLO John Paul Taylor explained the situation to supporters as he confirmed the full away section of 2972 will not be given to Celtic.
Instead, as it stands, Celtic will receive around the 2000-figure, but there is a possibility it could be further reduced by the Premier League club.
West Midlands Police are now involved in planning for the match with an update yet to be received from the police over the fixture.
