IMPORTANT REMINDER FROM CELTIC BARS

A heads up from Celticbars.com regarding issues supporters may experience going to a pub to watch the game tonight…

“Important reminder if you intend watching tonight’s game in a bar. It is only on Amazon Prime and I have no idea what bars have it or intend to pay for it. It is a new concept for me to consider after 24 years of Celticbars. Check first before setting off,” Davy at Celtic Bars.

Brendan Rodgers’ side head to Germany for Tuesday’s encounter 2-1 down in the Champions League knockout playoff round tie and will have to become the first Hoops side to competitively win on German soil if they want to progress through to the last 16 of Europe’s elite club competition.

All nine of Celtic’s UCL matches so far have been on TNT Sports 

All nine of Celtic’s Champions League matches this season have been shown live on TNT Sports with live commentary courtesy of Rory Hamilton and former Hoops goalkeeper Joe Hart.

However, this will not be the case on tonight as Amazon Prime Video have chosen to have this mammoth second leg match as their featured game.

First time a Celtic match is live on Amazon Prime 

Subsequently, for the first time in history, a Scottish side will have one of their games produced live on Amazon streaming platforms as Celtic attempt to pull off an almighty shock in Germany.

  1. Connor Spence seems to think that it is , ” Nice” that one of Celtic ‘s most important games in the club ‘s history is only available to Celtic supporters by “Live -streaming ” on an Internet Shopping Channel . With , Celtic supporters having to pay a subscription to Amazon who have nothing at all to do with UEFA and absolutely nothing to do with football .
    How did the Celtic Board get us into this mess ? Do they not realise that there is a massive amount of Celtic supporters ( like me ) born before the 1970’s who are not ” Computer ” competent ; who do not own a lap-top nor a Smart -phone . This generation loyally paid their Season ticket subscriptions through the ” Bad Times ” before Fergus McCann and kept Celtic afloat . A time when the Celtic Board would not even give us decent toilets to ” Piss-in ” when we stood in the Jungle up to our ankles in Urine .
    It now seems as though some of the Celtic Board have conveniently forgotten about these times because I know for a fact that some of them (like me) lived through them . Or , is it still the case , that the Celtic Board’s attitude to their fans has not changed since the times I mention
    Shame on you Celtic !!! You have millions in the Bank but could not even arrange for live streaming via Celtic T.V. at no cost to the section of supporters , I describe . Seems like we have not moved -on at all from the ” Bad-Times ” when Celtic took their fans cash and treated them with utter disdain. I rest my case .
