Our cinch Premiership match at home to Aberdeen on Saturday 20 November will be used as a test event for Covid Passport checks however no supporters will be refused entry for failing to provide proof of vaccination status.
We see this as an opportunity to test out operational processes to make it safe, quick, and easy for supporters for upcoming home fixtures that will require covid passports to be in use.
Proving Your Vaccination Status
Stewards will accept both paper and digital version of your vaccination status. We ask supporters who have a covid passport app to arrive with it open on their device to assist stewards who will be making the visual checks at the turnstiles.
Please note we will issue further guidance ahead of the Celtic home match scheduled for Sunday 5 December as we anticipate a crowd of over 10,000 for that fixture.

Further information on the COVID certificate scheme can be accessed here.
Supporters attending from the rest of the UK and the broader Common Travel Area (including Republic of Ireland) will be able to use their existing Covid Status apps with QR Codes or paper-based certificates. Visitors from outside the UK can use proof of vaccination from the country they were vaccinated in.
Exemptions
The following groups of supporters are exempt from showing a Covid Passport:
- Under-18s
- Supporters that cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons
- Participants in vaccine trials
- Supporters that are medically exempt or those that are participating in vaccine trials should carry proof of this. CLICK HERE to view information provided by the Scottish Government that details what is accepted as Proof of Exemption.
Why?
Under the regulations provided by the Scottish Government, all Scottish football clubs that are hosting games where the attendance is greater than 10,000 are legally required to implement a spot-check system to ensure supporters have proof of double vaccination or an exemption prior to entry.
Please note that for most of our matches where attendance is under 10,000 these government regulations will not apply and there will be no requirement for fans to prove vaccination status to attend.
