Wednesday, July 12th is also The Twelfth, an Ulster protestant celebration in Northern Ireland. The day is signified by marches to celebrate the victory of protestant king William of Orange over catholic king James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

While Celtic are renowned for their distinct Irish Roman Catholic foundations and identity, which has led to a fierce rivalry with fellow Glasgow club Rangers.

The second leg is on July 18/19th, in Celtic Park.
