CELTIC is to install what it claims is one of the most technologically advanced wi-fi networks ever seen for football fans at Celtic Park.
The technology will deliver high speed web access to thousands of mobile phones and tablets at the 60,832 capacity ground, amid predictions it will change the face of match-days.
It will kick off in time for the 2013/14 season and is similar to those already in place at Real Madrid and Manchester City.
A similar system set up at City's Etihad stadium paved the way to providing a service that will let fans watch live video and replays of the action.
Celtic said the network would allow fans access "to a range of content and the ability to instantly share content from memorable Celtic Park experiences with friends, family and fellow Celtic fans across the world".
Digital marketing agency Sports Revolution are working with Celtic to develop an exclusive app called CelticLive that fans will be able to download to their smartphones.
The club said in a statement: "The app, built on Sports Revolution's StadiumLive platform, will give users the ability to view and interact with a wide range of relevant and engaging club content, specifically designed to enhance match-day."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
