Celta Vigo's record-breaking Celtic Park allocation

The home side welcome their Spanish visitors for the third round of fixtures in the league phase of the Europa League. Both sides have failed to collect a point after two defeats, but that's not stopped Celta Vigo fans from travelling in impressive numbers.

They have sold 3,000 tickets for the game in Glasgow - which surpasses the 2,500 supporters they took to Old Trafford for the semi-finals of the Europa League against Manchester United nine years ago and the 2,900 fans they had with them in Lyon last season for a Round of 16 defeat.

And it will be their biggest travelling support since their first-ever away European game - against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in 1971, where they lost home and away in a UEFA Cup tie.

Celta Vigo's director of infrastructure, Carlos Cao, said: "In Glasgow they don't understand why so many people from Vigo want to go to the game. For them, it's just another game, but it is a very special match for our supporters.

"Lots of our fans bought a ticket first, then worried about travel and a hotel later!"
