Celtic’s Champions League opponents Aston Villa have been called “out of touch” by their fans for charging up to £97 a ticket for home matches in the tournament this season.

Celtic supporters will pay no more than 60 euros (£50.55) for the match at Villa Park on 29 January as Uefa has capped the amount clubs can charge for away tickets in the Champions League.

But Villa have announced that adult tickets for their four home games in the new 36-team league format will be priced at £85, £94 and £97.

Season ticket-holders will get discounted rates of £70, £79 and £82 respectively.

The Premier League side will host Bayern Munich, Bologna, Juventus and Celtic in their return to Europe’s top club competition for the first time in 41 years.
