Celtic Make Special Flag Day Announcement

Celtic have made a special announcement ahead of Flag Day.

Kilmarnock comes to Parkhead this Sunday as the Scottish Premiership season finally kicks off.

It has been a long summer for Hoops fans given the lack of transfer activity, but things on the pitch begin for real this weekend.

Indeed, ahead of the campaign opener, Celtic have confirmed that Lisbon Lion Jim Craig will unfurl the league flag pre-match.

The club legend made 231 appearances for the Bhoys throughout a lengthy career. A defender, he scored six goals for the Celts and was part of the illustrious team which won the 1967 European Cup in Lisbon.

Craig will do the honours in front of a sold-out Paradise.

Fans are eager to get back into Celtic Park and will do so in some style this Sunday, with a full stadium tifo in the works.

The Green Brigade have been preparing the display all week and this afternoon, they made a plea to fellow fans surrounding it.

The action kicks off on Sunday at 4.30 pm, but supporters are advised to be in their seats early to take in all the festivities.
