Celtic have confirmed they will join this weekend's Scottish football social media boycott.
The Parkhead club have thrown their weight behind the campaign aimed at eradicating online racist and discriminatory abuse, announced earlier on Wednesday by the SFA and SPFL.
The show of solidarity - set to be observed from the Premiership to grassroots levels - will begin at 3pm on Friday, April 30 and run until Monday, May 3 at 11.59pm.
Celtic say their support of the boycott is fuelled by "horrendous" slurs aimed at their players, staff and fans over the years.
And the club have now issued a strong statement insisting it must be ended for good.
The statement said: "As a club who has welcomed all since 1888, we are pleased to support this collective campaign.
"Sadly, through various social media platforms Celtic players, staff and supporters for some time have been subjected to racial and sectarian attacks and horrendous personal abuse - this is something which simply has to stop.
"Abusing someone because of the colour of their skin, abusing an individual due to their religion, unacceptable personal attacks or pathetically mocking the death of a loved one - our players, staff and supporters have, tragically, experienced it all through social media.
"We must all make a stand and together defeat this negative, damaging behaviour which inflicts so much harm.
"Social media can be an important, powerful tool. Let's use it properly."
