Celtic supporters pay tribute to Pope Francis with banner display

Celtic fans have paid a fitting tribute to the late Pope Francis following his passing earlier this week.

The head of the Catholic state died aged 88 on Monday, April 21.

And in Celtic's first game since, away supporters at Tannadice have paid their respects to The Pope.

A club statement released on Monday read: "Celtic Football Club would like to express its deepest condolences following the death of Pope Francis who has passed away this morning at the age of 88.

"Everyone at the club is saddened by this morning's news and we offer our sincere thoughts and prayers. Requiescat in pace."
