COVID vaccine passports look set to be in operation for Celtic's trip to Dundee United at the start of December.
Supporters of both clubs will be required to show proof of their vaccination status to gain entry to Tannadice just 24-hours before the government policy is altered.
Nicola Sturgeon announced that the passport scheme will be halted from December.
From there on in, proof of a negative lateral-flow test will be enough to gain entry to large scale events such as football matches.
However, the start date for this has been confirmed as Monday, December 6.
This is just 24-hours after the Hoops take on Dundee United in the City of Discovery.
Dundee United released a statement confirming that more than one in four fans in attendance for their clash with Aberdeen on Saturday were checked for a vaccine passport.
The statement reads: "We are now able to confirm the official attendance at Tannadice on Saturday was 9927, including over 2600 away fans.
"Saturday was used as a test event for Covid Passports and 2557 spectators were successfully checked.
"We would like to take the opportunity to thank all fans who attended and helped us complete a successful test event.
"Please be aware that Covid Passports will be required for the 5 December home fixture versus Celtic and we will issue fuller guidance nearer the time."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
