Celtic players will all wear the number 10 on their shorts at Hampden this weekend in tribute to Bertie Auld.

The Lisbon Lion died earlier this week at the age of 83.

He'll be honoured when Ange Postecoglou's side head to the national stadium on Saturday to face St Johnstone in the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals.

Tributes have already been paid by supporters outside Celtic Park with shirts, scarves and messages left in memory of Auld.

Ange Postecoglou, Callum McGregor and acting chief executive Michael Nicholson also laid a wreath on behalf of the club.

A joint minutes' silence for Bertie Auld and Walter Smith was also held at Hampden ahead of Scotland's 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Denmark on Monday.
