Uefa are confident Celtic and their supporters will get the go-ahead to travel to Milan for next month's Champions League crunch match.
The Scottish champions are due to face AC Milan at the San Siro stadium on March 7th, a fixture which at one stage looked set to be moved out of Italy.
The death of a police officer at the Sicilian derby between Catania and Palermo on February 2nd prompted the Italian government to demand an improvement in facilities at Italian football stadia.
Work to install electronic turnstiles at Milan's home ground - which they share with Inter - began last week.
It progressed so quickly 28 turnstiles were open on Sunday to allow 21,000 Milan season-ticket holders entry to the Serie A match against Livorno. The pace of the progress has convinced Uefa that the second leg of the last-16 tie can be played at its original venue.
"We've been very encouraged by what happened during the weekend," said William Gaillard, Uefa's communications and public affairs director. "As far as we are concerned, given the fact the Italian FA have told us they would do this work and it has been done, it should be business as usual."
Uefa cannot overrule the Italian government, however, and the European body were last night waiting for the green light from sports minister Giovanna Melandri before giving a definite decision on where the match will be played.
Although Geneva is no longer an option as a standby city to host the match, Newcastle and Paris could be considered if Milan are refused permission to open up their stadium to a capacity crowd.
