Celtic season ticket holders WON'T be given a free pass to watch their club's upcoming Scottish Cup tie with Falkirk.
The Premiership side face League One opposition on Saturday night as domestic action finally returns and John Kennedy takes the first step towards a potential silver lining to a dire season in Glasgow's east end.
Lee Miller and David McCracken's Bairns are first up in the third round with the action kicking off at the unconventional time of 7.30pm.
But fans will need a TV subscription to watch it as - unlike the other televised cup game Celtic have played in 2020-21 - it won't be included in their season ticket.
Broadcaster for Scottish knockout football, Premier Sports, opted not to sell the club the rights to show the game on their own Pass to Paradise platform.
It's a change of tack from the TV channel, who back in November allowed all Parkhead season ticket holders to watch their Betfred Cup match with Ross County for free with a weekend pass.
The broadcaster shares the Scottish Cup broadcasting rights with the BBC.
Supporter's liaison officer John Paul Taylor has been recognised by supporters for doing his level best during a tough campaign, particularly with fans still unable to attend matches.
And he posted a reply to a fan who had asked about the match on Twitter, stating: "Not willing to sell it to us Gaz so we won't be able to broadcast it in the UK or Ireland."
