The funeral of Celtic legend John Clark will be held in Glasgow on Friday.
Clark made over 300 appearances for the Hoops and was part of the club鈥檚 famous Lisbon Lions team who won the European Cup by defeating Inter Milan in the Portuguese capital.
The former defender, who was at Celtic for 50 years as a player, coach, assistant manager and kit man, died last week at the age of 84.
His funeral service will be held at St Mary鈥檚 Church on Abercrombie Street in the Calton area, where Celtic were formed in 1887, at midday.
The cortege will travel down The Celtic Way at approximately 1.15pm, with fans invited to gather at the stadium to say a final farewell.
However, Celtic have reminded supporters to be mindful that space at the church is limited.
The service will be broadcast on Celtic TV.
