RUGBYUNION

-

Kyle Steyn hopes the Glasgow support turns Celtic Park into a sea of blue when the Warriors walk out for next week’s Pro14 Grand Final.

Warriors cruised into the showpiece with Leinster at Parkhead by crushing Ulster 50-20 on Friday night.

Ticket sales have already topped 30,000 but Steyn is hoping the Scotstoun faithful turn out in huge numbers and fill the 60,000-capacity home of Celtic Football Club.

He said: “We’re hoping to get as close as we can to selling out Celtic Park.

“The 10,000 who go to Scotstoun are already making the same noise you get from 60,000 so it would be an amazing experience to see it filled with as many Glasgow fans as possible. Glasgow is a strong footballin­g city and we’d love to see it full of rugby supporters.

“I’ve never been to a game at Parkhead. I’ve seen it from outside but it will be interestin­g to see if we get any time there this week.

“I’m not sure if any of the boys in the squad are Celtic supporters.
