Celtic's first European away match of the season is set to take place in Dortmund at the famous Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund's home is the largest club ground in Germany and has a reputation for being one of the noisiest in Europe.

Where is the Borussia Dortmund away section?
The away end at Signal Iduna Park is positioned directly opposite the Yellow Wall – the largest single-tiered grandstand in Europe and the area of the ground where Borussia Dortmund's most vocal supporters stand.
The stand where the away end is situated is the Nord Tribune with the away end spanning two tiers to the right of the goal. Away fans should enter the stadium via sections 8, 60, 61, 70, 71 and 75 and as it is a UEFA match, rail seating will be in place in the standing sections.
What is the Borussia Dortmund away section like?
The majority of the away end is all-seated but there are sections that incorporate safe standing areas. For league matches, the seats are pushed back to the rails, however, for UEFA matches these seats are dropped down to allow fans to sit down.
The concourse in the away end is spacious and serves food and drinks before the match and at half-time. As per UEFA rules, fans aren't allowed to take alcoholic beverages into the stands. Concourses open a couple of hours before kick-off should fans want to get something to eat or drink in the stadium before the match starts.
What is the Celtic allocation?
Celtic were given an allocation of 3,800 tickets for the match against Borussia Dortmund and all of these tickets have been sold. The application was oversubscribed, with many Celtic fans missing out on tickets.
It is anticipated that more Celtic fans will travel to Dortmund next week without tickets so the exact number of Celtic fans in Dortmund is likely to be far higher than 3,800.
