READ CELTIC VERDICT
It is understandable that many fans are concerned about the artificial pitch because the Hoops have just welcomed back some players from injury.
Are you in favour of artificial pitches in Scottish football?
Yes
No
This is a critical stage in the league season and the last thing the team needs is more injuries, so Neil Lennon knows that his players need to be careful on the playing surface.
The use of artificial pitches in Scottish football has received plenty of critics but the pitches are regularly tested to ensure they’re safe to play on, so we feel there shouldn’t be too much concern.
