Fan guide | Celtic vs Wolves

Wolves head to Dublin on Saturday afternoon as the Old Gold play their first match in Ireland since 2014 when they take on Scottish champions Celtic.

Thousands of Wolves supporters have already snapped up their tickets for the 2pm pre-season friendly at the Aviva Stadium to watch Julen Lopetegui’s side continue their preparations for the upcoming Premier League campaign

Supporters travelling to Dublin are asked to ensure they represent the club in a positive manner before, during and after Saturday’s game.

After the club’s recent punishment from the Football Association in relation to homophobic chanting by some Wolves supporters during our match against Chelsea in April, it is pertinent to remind supporters that the club operate a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination, harassment and victimisation relating to sex, gender, sexual orientation as well as religion or race and disability.

Wolves urge supporters to show respect and not chant songs that could be regarded as insulting to others, particularly from a religious or political perspective. All unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in line with our acceptable behaviour policy which can be viewed here.
