Celtic travel to Birmingham to face Aston Villa on Wednesday
Residents near Villa Park have been told that a "counter terrorism strategy" will be in place for Aston Villa's UEFA Champions League clash with Celtic this week.
And the letter which has now been circulated on social media says: “These measures have been implemented as part of our counter-terrorism strategy and have been carefully planned in consultation with governing bodies to ensure the safety and security of all attendees and residents. Aston Villa have threatened to ban supporters and revoke season tickets if fans are found selling on their tickets to Celtic fans. The Midlands club issued the threat amid fears of the re-sale of tickets for the match, either in person or on secondary ticketing platforms, and warned details will be passed to police should anyone be found to be selling on tickets.
"Tickets are sold for the sole use of the individual named on the ticket and the club does not permit them to be resold. Any fans found to be forwarding their ticket for use by visiting supporters will be prevented from purchasing tickets for the rest of the season at least.
