UEFA CONFIRMS: Celtic vs RB Leipzig Match Postponed
UEFA has officially announced the postponement of the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match between Celtic FC and RB Leipzig. The fixture, originally scheduled to take place at Celtic Park, will be rescheduled for a later date. UEFA cited unforeseen circumstances, including severe weather conditions in the Glasgow area, as the main reason for the postponement.
Heavy rain and strong winds, which have significantly impacted travel and safety in the region, have made it unsafe to proceed with the match as planned. The local authorities and UEFA’s match control team assessed the situation, concluding that delaying the game was the most prudent course of action to ensure the safety of players, staff, and fans.
This postponement has caused significant disruption for both clubs, especially as they were gearing up for an important encounter in the group stage of the competition. Celtic, currently in a battle for qualification to the knockout rounds, had been looking to use their home advantage to secure vital points against the Bundesliga side.
UEFA has assured fans that a new date for the match will be communicated as soon as possible, with the organization working closely with both clubs to finalize the new schedule.
