In the early stages of the 2017-2018 Scottish Premier League season, Celtic fans have been eagerly anticipating the start of their home stadium, Parkhead, as it will be their home venue for the first match of the season against Rangers on Saturday, October 9th.

The decision to allow fans early access to their home stadium was made by Celtic's management team after extensive consultation with supporters and the Scottish Football Association (SFA). The move was made in order to ensure that all fans had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the park before the game, which is typically held at full capacity.

For many fans, this means getting their tickets early so they can get into the stadium and enjoy the atmosphere. However, some fans have expressed concerns about the safety measures taken by Celtic officials, including the requirement for fans to wear masks during the game.

Despite these concerns, the SFA has stated that the safety measures will be implemented to protect both fans and players from COVID-19. This includes mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, and other health and safety protocols.

Overall, the decision to allow early access to Parkhead has been welcomed by fans who are excited to see their club compete in the Scottish Premier League. As the season progresses, we will continue to follow the progress of the league and stay updated on any developments related to the match between Celtic and Rangers.
