And with all games in Scotland set to be behind closed doors for the foreseeable future, it could still be months before any fans are allowed into stadiums.

Celtic are due to play three upcoming games in France with fans inside stadiums.

They will play in a pre-season tournament in Lyon, along with Rangers and Nice, with the host club insisting only members and their own supporters will be allowed inside the Groupama Stadium with a limit of 4,500.

However, PSG are selling a limited number of briefs online for their friendly with Celtic next Tuesday in a general sale to all fans, after allocating a set amount for their season ticket holders and members.

The Parc des Princes will have a maximum of 5,000 fans allowed inside the stadium and plenty of Hoops fans have already snapped the tickets up, after they went on sale today.

But it comes at a price because the French champions are charging £57 including a booking fee for the pre-season friendly.

And all fans will have to wear face masks inside the stadium.

PSG stated: “The club will put in place sanitary measures to welcome all supporters.

“Wearing a mask at the stadium will be compulsory and social distancing measures must be respected in each stand.

“The safety and health of supporters is the club’s top priority.”

The last game supporters of a Scottish club attended was at Rangers’ Europa League, Last 16, first leg loss to Bayer Leverkusen in March.

PSG sent out a warning ahead of that game with a 9-0 romp against Le Havre this week – leaving former Rangers boss Paul Le Guen warning they could have scored FIFTEEN goals against his club.

PSG romped to a 9-0 win against the Ligue 2 side, who are managed by ex-Ibrox flop Le Guen, who was in charge of Rangers for a disastrous, ill-fated spell in 2006.

The Paris big-spenders handed starts to big guns Neymar and Kylian Mbappe and romped to a comfortable win and Le Guen admitted it could have been even worse.

He said: “We could have lost 12 or 15 goals, but I am not embarrassed.

“We played with a lot of youngsters and they are not ready overnight. The score does not matter.”
