Feyenoord supporters are understood to be planning a trip to the city at the weekend to attend the match.

 

Officers said they have "intelligence" from social media discussions between sections of the Celtic support and Dutch fans.

 

The Evening Times understands around 120 Feyenoord supporters plan to arrive in the city.

 

A police insider said: "We know about them and we're ready."

 

Police will have a specialist policing plan in place throughout the weekend.

 

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We are aware of discussion on the internet in relation to a section of travelling supporters."

 

It comes days after some Feyenoord supporters became embroiled in a racism row during their side's Europa League match against Roma.

 

The referee was forced to stop the match twice over the incidents during Thursday's game.

 

Officers arrested more than a dozen Dutch nationals and five Italians before the match.
