Mcneill cortege to stop at Celtic Park

The details of Celtic’s legendary captain Billy Mcneill’s funeral have been confirmed.

It will be held in Glasgow on Friday, with a mass for the European Cup-winning skipper starting at 11:30am at St Aloysius Church in Rose Street, in the city’s Garnethill area.

Following the service, the funeral cortege will proceed to Celtic Park where thousands of fans are expected to gather around 1:30pm to pay their last respects.

After leaving the stadium, it will head towards Polmadie Road via the Shawfield Bridge and on to a private, family-only internment.

In recent years, fans have congregated at the stadium to pay tribute to fallen Celtic heroes such as Tommy Gemmell, Jimmy Johnstone and Tommy Burns.
