Austrian champions LASK will observe a period of silence in memory of a Celtic supporter who passed away following the first leg of their Champions League play-off in Glasgow last week.
The 65-year-old fan fell ill at Celtic Park during last Wednesday's match. Despite being rushed to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, he tragically died a short time later.
Ahead of tonight's return leg in Linz, LASK contacted the Scottish club to confirm they wished to pay tribute to the supporter. Celtic issued a statement expressing their gratitude for the gesture, while reiterating their support for the fan's family during this difficult time.
The match at the Raiffeisen Arena kicks off at 20:00. Martin O'Neill's side enters the game with a 3-0 aggregate lead, with the winner securing a place in the lucrative Champions League group stage.
