Celtic supporters have been urged by the Green Brigade to join a tribute to the people of Palestine.
The fan group intends to pay tribute to those affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza by singing 'Grace' as the match against Kilmarnock kicks off.
A statement released through North Curve Celtic read: "As the Gaza genocide continues shamefully unabated we invite the Celtic support to join us in song to commemorate the 30,000 lives lost and the millions struggling on.
"'Grace' is a song of love, hope, loss, pain, steadfastness, resistance and freedom. Join us at the start of the match to pay tribute to the fearless people of Palestine."
The group have been vocal in their support for Palestine amid the conflict with huge displays of the country's flag at Parkhead in recent months.

The Green Brigade had previously been banned from Celtic Park over "unacceptable conduct", however, members of the group maintained displays for Palestine were a factor in the decision.
The supporters were granted a return in December with the group displaying a banner quoting words from 'A Prisoner's Christmas Song'.
The banner read: "Many homes they are sad tonight.
"They whisper someone's name by the candlelight.
"20,000+ killed - 8,000+ children."
It comes after one of the rules in the section banned banners that could be considered to border into subjects including politics.
The Celtic Rail Seating Section Safety Code of Conduct includes the rule: "Not to display banners or engage in any singing/chanting which could reasonably be considered to be racial, sectarian, political, homophobic or discriminatory.
"To bring banners and flags and to sing songs which support the team positively. The banner protocol must be complied with."
