Celtic get boost for European clash

Celtic have got a couple of weeks to assess where things went wrong over the international break after we lost to Livingston on Sunday afternoon.

It was a far from good performance and even though we only had ten men for much of the clash, we still have certain standards that we need to meet in such games.

We’ll need to be better, then, especially when it comes to big European away games with Lazio not that far away now.

We’ve been handed a real boost for the game in Rome, though, with it being confirmed that we’ve been allocated 9,000 tickets for the clash:

This is great news. So often the allocations around Europe are awful and are quite frankly not enough.

However, this is the exact opposite and it gives us a chance to take a big away following into an atmosphere that is set to be brilliant.

It promises to be a top game, but it’s one that we’ll have to be on our mettle for.
