With Steve Torpey expected to make his debut in tonight's six-pointer against Altrincham, Andy Firbank has asked supporters to arrive early in anticipation of a big crowd.

"Altrincham have indicated that they are expecting to bring 150 - 200 fans this evening so all turnstiles will be open and supporters should arrive in good time in order to reduce the queues".

In tonigt's programme Celtic will launch their "Give a little xtra help - against the Halifax" Christmas promotion. With the Celts playing Halifax three times in the next month, entry forms will be available in the programme to win a family ticket for the Boxing Day encounter and merchandise goody bag. Supporters who are unable to obtain a copy of the programme should note that leaflets will be available at the forthcoming Farsley lights switch on and will be available from the club.

"The hope is to encourage supporters to attend the Boxing Day match and beat the highest attendance set in the game against York" explains Firbank.
