Strathclyde Police have confirmed Celtic's Champions League play-off round first leg with Arsenal will go ahead on Tuesday, August 18.
There had been doubts about the date of the fixture due to a U2 concert taking place at Hampden Park on the same night.
Police had concerns over the volume of traffic moving in and out of Glasgow but have now issued a statement which read: "Strathclyde Police acknowledge that this will be a very busy time for the city, but as with any major event, public safety will be paramount."
"Contingencies will be in place across the whole of Strathclyde to ensure the safety of supporters and members of the public, not only for the match but also for the U2 concert at Hampden Park."
Assistant chief constable Fiona Taylor, head of operational support, added: "It will be crucial to the success of the evening that fans come early for the match and use public transport where possible to avoid delay."
A Celtic spokesman said: "Congestion in the east and south of Glasgow will be at unprecedented levels with the concert at nearby Hampden Park."
"The stadium will open at 6.15pm and there will be live entertainment ahead of the vital Euro clash."

Shame there is no photo there OG with that classic dive from Eduardo - he'd give Tom Daley a run for his money...

From the angle the ref was at, I can see why it was given, but that was a fucking awful dive
