Dortmund police have warned Celtic fans they will be thrown out of the stadium if they are found with pyros in this week's Champions League tie.
Celtic have an official allocation of 3,800 at the second game of the tournament although they are expected to have many more supporters travelling to Germany.
And Dormund's police department has written an open letter to the Celtic fans arriving in Germany warning about the consequences of taking pyros to the game.
They stated: "The police department of Dortmund warmly welcomes the fans of Celtic Glasgow.
"We are aware that supporting the team is an important part of the match.

"Nevertheless, we would like to inform you that carrying and burning of flares, smoke bombs, sparklers, fireworks or any other non-approved pyrotechnics is prohibited inside the stadium as well as in public areas.
"Any violation will lead to legal consequences and will be punished.
"The police of Dortmund will not condone misbehaviour of any kind and will probably exclude those supporters from the match.
"This means that because of your misconduct and despite being here to support your team, you will not have access to the stadium."Therefore please do not use any kind of fireworks or pyrotechnics at any time during your stay in Dortmund.
"You endanger yourself and others."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
