A period of silence will be held at Parkhead tonight prior to Celtic’s Champions League game with RB Leipzig in memory of those who tragically lost their lives in Creeslough last Friday.
The Celtic players will also wear black armbands.
Through the club’s charitable arm, Celtic FC Foundation, they are donating £10,000 to the Creeslough Community Support Fund which has been set up through the Red Cross.
In a statement the club said, “Donegal has a long and emotional connection with Celtic Football Club. The area is home to a large contingent of Celtic supporters, one of whom being Martin McGill, who tragically lost his life in the incident.”
“We send our heartfelt sympathies to the families of all of the victims and the people of Creeslough. Our thoughts, prayers and support are with you all at this difficult time.”
A period of silence will be held prior to the #CelticRBLeipzig kick-off tomorrow and the players will wear black armbands during the game, in memory of the 10 people who tragically lost their lives in Creeslough, County Donegal on Friday.
