Celtic Football Club has paid tribute to the 10 people who lost their lives in the Creeslough tragedy.
The club held a minute's silence ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League game with RB Leipzig at Parkhead, while players wore black armbands.
The tribute came on the same day as the funeral of Hoops supporter Martin McGill, who died in the blast in County Donegal.

The 49-year-old was originally from Scotland but moved to Co Donegal to look after his parents. Tuesday's service was held at St Michael's church in Creeslough and he was later laid to rest in Doe Cemetery.
Martin was one of 10 people to lose their lives in the Creeslough tragedy. Celtic has also donated £10,000 to the Creeslough Community Support Fund.
The club said in an earlier statement: “Everyone at Celtic Football Club wishes to send our most sincere condolences to the families of the ten people who tragically died in Creeslough, Donegal on Friday and we offer our full support to the entire community, which is suffering so much at this difficult time.
“Through the club’s charitable arm, Celtic FC Foundation, £10,000 will be donated to the Creeslough Community Support Fund in the aftermath of this heartbreaking event.
“The Support Fund has been set up by the Irish Red Cross in collaboration with An Post and Applegreen to provide rapid and long-term assistance to the Creeslough community.”
Martin’s was the second funeral in the town on Tuesday, and followed just three hours after the community said farewell to young fashion designer Jessica Gallagher.
Fr John Joe Duffy said of Martin: “He was an avid Celtic fan and would have been proud to know that his club had made a large donation to the Creeslough appeal fund and worn black armbands in memory of the victims.”
Also on Tuesday night, Scotland and Republic of Ireland players took part in a minute's silence for the Donegal victims prior to their FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 qualifying play-off match at Hampden Park in Glasgow
