Celtic fans sent 'pyro' Polish police warning ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk Champions League trip

Celtic fans have been warned that any use of pyro will run them the risk of arrest and detainment in Poland this week.

The Hoops are returning to the home of Legia Warsaw - where they played the Polish side in Artur Boruc's testimonial match in pre-season - for their second Champions League Group F match against Shakhtar Donetsk. It's being played outside of the Ukrainian champions' home city due to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

Ahead of the match at the Stadion Wojska Polskiego, Celtic SLO John Paul Taylor has passed on safety information and a warning from the police: "Important info for Wed: Stadium opens 2 hrs prior to KO, fans are encouraged to arrive early for this match, tickets will be scanned and photo ID is required, this can take time so advice is do not leave it late to arrive. Celtic fans will access the Stadium through Gate D1 from PD2.
