San Siro back to capacity for Celtic

UEFA has confirmed that there will be an official stadium capacity of 67,500 for the UEFA Champions League first knockout round second-leg tie between AC Milan and Celtic FC at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on 7 March.

Green light
Europe's governing body, in consultation with the Italian Football Federation, had said last month that the match would go ahead at San Siro, following security concerns prompted by spectator incidents in Italy and subsequent efforts to meet new stadium guidelines.

Higher capacity
FC Internazionale Milano's last-16 home game was played at the Giuseppe Meazza on 21 February, with a permitted capacity of 36,000. Additional work done at the stadium since that match means the Milan-Celtic tie can take place in front of 67,500 spectators, with the Scottish club receiving 4,500 tickets for their fans. The teams drew 0-0 in Glasgow on 20 February.
