Liverpool supporters' union Spirit Of Shankly will visit Celtic Park this weekend as they continue their discussions around rail seating.

The visit - at the invitation of Celtic themselves - will see supporters, Hillsborough families and survivors attend the Bhoys' Scottish Premier League fixture against Ross County and see the rail-seating section first hand.

Spirit Of Shankly say they see it as an opportunity to further understanding of what rail seating is and to put questions to Celtic about their experience.

This follows a vote last summer when nearly 90% of 18,000 supporters polled by Spirit of Shankly said they were in favour of the introduction of rail seating areas in stadia.

Jay McKenna, chair of Spirit Of Shankly said: "After our overwhelming vote, and conversations since, there was clearly a need to know more. We're grateful for Celtic to the invitation and it will be an opportunity for us to put to them the questions we had aired in our discussions last year.

"For many, this will be the first time that they have seen or experienced a rail seating section, so it will be a chance to better understand what it is and what it isn't. Hopefully we can come away much more informed."

The trip to Glasgow will see those involved meet with the club, police, stewards and supporter groups.

In addition, a number of those attending will watch the game from the rail seating section. They are though aware of the emotion of such a visit.

McKenna added: "There is a closeness to Celtic, one fostered more since Hillsborough. Similarly people have shared deeply personal experiences in our discussions so far. So we know it can be emotional for some and we are aware of the sensitivities. We’re respectful of that.”

Spirit of Shankly say there are no guarantees about what happens next but will go back and talk to supporters after the visit.

“Going to Celtic isn’t an endorsement or a pre-cursor to calling for rail seating at Anfield. We want an informed discussion, based on this visit, with supporters.

"This is why we extended an invite to both Hillsborough groups and those who were there and not - we want to ensure all voices are heard.”
