Celtic to pay respects to Creeslough explosion victims
Celtic will pay their respects to the victims of the petrol station explosion in Creeslough, County Donegal prior to kick-off against RB Leipzig in the Champions League tonight.
Tragically, 10 people lost their lives at the Applegreen service station when it exploded last Friday. The adjoining apartments were also destroyed.
The victims have since been named: Leona Harper, Robert Garwe, Shauna Flanagan Garwe, Jessica Gallagher, James O'Flaherty, Martina Martin, Hugh Kelly, Catherine O'Donnell, James Monaghan and Martin McGill.
Celtic, a club with a rich and storied Irish connection, have confirmed they will hold a period of silence ahead of this week's Champions League fixture.
The Scottish champions will play the role of hosts to Germany's RB Leipzig tonight in which players will also wear black armbands throughout.
Celtic took to social media to confirm the gesture.
