A Bloody Sunday memorial march is set to be met by protests from a far-right Loyalist group in Glasgow.
West of Scotland Band Alliance is due to take to the streets through the city centre on Saturday morning.
The Republican group, which describes itself as a ‘politically-independent organisation’, will be marching to “highlight what happened on Bloody Sunday in Derry” on January 30, 1972, when 14 unarmed civilians were killed by British soldiers during a protest march.
Glasgow City Council has estimated that around 200 people are set to march through the streets from 11.30am.
Loyalist protesters are expected to congregate in the city centre in opposition to the march.
A Facebook event set up by the National Defence League (NDL) has called for “all Loyalists” to disrupt the parade.
The NDL describe themselves as: "Built by the people for the people to protect our great nation."
The event comes just months after tensions between Loyalists and Republicans boiled over in the city.
Riot police were deployed to the centre of Govan after rival factions became locked in a major violent stand-off in August.
It came as the James Connolly Republican Flute Band attempted to take part in an "Irish Unity March" around the area only for Loyalists to try to block their parade.
Loyalist demonstrators also protested against two further Republican marches in the city centre just weeks later with a huge police presence brought in to keep the two rival groups apart.
