Celtic reveal plans for open-top bus parade

Celtic have announced plans for an open-top bus parade in the event of the club winning the Scottish Cup final.

The Parkhead side face Motherwell at Hampden on Saturday. If they win, the parade will take place that evening.

Celtic are aiming to become the first Scottish club to win back-to-back domestic trebles of league title, Scottish Cup and League Cup. The parade announcement is something of a surprise. Unlike other clubs, Celtic and Rangers have tended to shy away from open-top bus parades on police advice.

However, Celtic have published details of the proposed route. Beginning around Dalmarnock train station at around 6:15pm, then along the Clyde Gateway, turning right on to London Road and then on to the Celtic Way.
