St Johnstone WILL play their Europa League third qualifying round tie at McDiarmid Park.
Fears had been raised that the game, likely to be against Galatasaray, would need to be played at a neutral venue due to Turkey being on the Covid red-list.
But the Scottish Government and Scottish FA have stepped in to assist Saints and avoid the potential travel nightmare.
The Perth side are now set to welcome a bumper crowd on August 12.
Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell said: “We are grateful for the co-operation of Scottish Government in finding a solution to the existing travel guidance, which will enable Scottish clubs to participate in UEFA club competitions safely provided they follow additional mitigations.
“We will continue to liaise with government on implications for men’s and women’s clubs and match officials regarding foreign travel during European competitions.”
Transport secretary Michael Matheson said: “These steps to allow the games to go ahead are only being taken following extremely careful consideration of any potential threat to wider public health.
“Robust safeguards including daily PCR testing, quarantine bubbles and not permitting away spectators are among the steps required to allow the games to go ahead.”
