Celtic Fans Unveil “A Club Open to All” Banner in Support of Pride Glasgow

With Celtic taking on Kilmarnock this afternoon, a group of Hoops fans showed their support for Gay Pride prior to kick-off.

Celtic dispatched Khazakstan side FC Astana 5-0 in mid-week, a result which will undoubtedly fill Brendan Rodgers’ team with confidence for today’s game at Rugby Park.

And while the majority of Celtic fans will have all eyes on their team’s progress, supporters in the crowd were equally keen to confirm Celtic is “a club open to all” as Glasgow celebrates Pride.

Pride Glasgow is Scotland’s largest LGBTI festival and was first established in 2004, before being run as an annual event since 2012.

Celtic will be looking to continue their domestic dominance against Lee McCulloch’s side today, having taken last season’s unbeaten run into this campaign with wins over Patrick Thistle and Hearts.

And it’s going to plan so far, with Tom Rogic scoring the opener late in the first-half.
