Jablonec in Celtic Europa League boost as Czechs confirm full attendance and Ange Postecoglou's side take unusual pre-match step

Jablonec have announced that they will have full capacity at the Stadion Strelnice for their clash with Celtic.

The sides meet in the Europa League third qualifying round on Wednesday as both look to set up a tie with Dutch aces AZ Alkmaar.

It's a huge tie for Ange Postecoglou and his side, who have failed to win any of their three competitive games so far this season.

And they'll have to contend with a full stadium on Thursday - albeit the ground holds just over 6,000.

Jablonec confirmed in a statement: "New measures for organising mass sports events came into force over the weekend, and thanks to that we can put the complete capacity of the stadium on sale at Střelnice."

All season ticket holders will be guaranteed entry, while fans without season tickets will pay around £17.

In addition, Celtic will take the unusual step of not visiting the stadium before they play there.

Traditionally teams train on the pitch the night before UEFA fixtures, but the Hoops are set to stay in Prague ahead of the game.

They'll instead train at Viktoria Zizkov's stadium on Wednesday.
