Celtic fans suffer ticket farce in Cluj-Napoca ahead of Champions League clash

Hundreds of Celtic fans have been left waiting on their tickets just hours ahead of the Champions League clash with Cluj.

Supporters liaison officer JP Taylor was due to take delivery of the away allocation on Wednesday morning.

But with seven hours till kick off he took to social media to explain the home club still hadn't appeared with the briefs.

He said: "So...best laid plans!!! Still waiting on tickets arriving at Opera Plaza."

It the latest in a series of ticketing problems for Hoops fans after it emerged they had to fork out more than seven times their hosts.

Briefs were changing hands for less than £5 for home fans but were ramped up to £36 for the away support - with Celtic contacting Cluj for answers and demanding refunds.

Around 350 Hoops supporters are expected for the fist leg in the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Radulescu.

The second leg will take place at Celtic Park next Tuesday.

The winners of the tie face Slavia Prague in the playoffs for a place in the lucrative group stage.
