Meanwhile Brendan Rodgers has been speaking about his own Celtic heroes from his time growing up and one them today is getting the honour of unfurling the league flag – much to the delight of the manager!

“It’s a great honour for us to have Danny McGrain taking the team out and unfurling the flag,” Brendan said.

“It’s a great day and brilliant for the supporters. In my first year here I felt a bit of an outsider because I had absolutely no part in winning it. So I will enjoy watching Danny unfurl it and then we will get on with trying to secure a good win.

“I see Danny, and see guys like George McCluskey around the club and I’m like still a big child. This is my childhood and I’ve grown up a little bit. Seeing guys like Roy Aitken back in. We just need Anton Rogan showing up…

“These are the fellas who have made the great club what it is and are wonderful symbols of our past, yet very much part of our present because they are real icons of the club.

“In that era, you look at the appearances they had. The likes of Danny, Roy, TB, bless him. These guys were real contributors to the status that Celtic is and I tap into that.

“I speak with Danny virtually every day he’s here. Have lunch with him and sit for 15 or 20 minutes and I always get a wee nugget from him that I can relate somewhere in my life to football because he’s so humble. These guys never knew how good they were. Daniel Fergus McGrain. It’s brilliant to have him.”
