Tell them to shove it. Another twist as PSG ban Celtic fans wearing colours

PSG are making a complete and utter mess of their ticketing arrangements ahead of the friendly which Celtic should seriously consider withdrawing from – even at this late stage.

Celtic fans were offered tickets in the 5000 capacity match at the Parc des Princes last week at the incredible price of £56.

Then the French Champions decided to cancel tickets last night and issued refunds if any of the ticket holders were from the UK.

That was resolved by Celtic’s SLO John Paul Taylor as the French reluctantly agreed to honour the tickets sold to Celtic fans – who had obviously travelled to the French capital in good faith and incurred airline and hotel costs in doing so.

So it looked like it was all’s well that ends well under a sting in the tail – PSG now say that NO COLOURS can be worn at the game. Here’s JP conforming the latest development.

Worried obviously that the tiny but vocal Celtic support will create the atmosphere and show up their own reserved support? Don’t know and don’t care but they cannot be allowed to proceed with this last minute ban on colours – especially as the troops at the game will already be there and will be wearing the hoops.

It’s been a shambles from PSG today. Not good at all and Celtic Supporters are being messed around. Tell then the supporters get in and support our team or alternative they can shove it and find another opponent at the last minute. They do like a change of plan at the 11th hour don’t they?

Meanwhile here is the PSG team for the game against Celtic…

And the Celtic team if you’ve not seen it yet….
