Celtic colours spotted in the stands as Athletic Bilbao beat Rangers

Athletic Bilbao prevailed in their Europa League quarter-final tie against Rangers tonight.

This would be enough to please Celtic fans, as is the nature of the intense Glasgow rivalry.

Photos show a Scotland flag, as well as Irish tri-colours on display.
