As can be seen in the below video, over 57,000 fans from both sets of clubs fell silent to remember those that had been lost in the tragedy.
Due to the close proximity, Celtic have strong roots to Donegal and is probably the most supported club in the county. The Hoops have even played Finn Harps in friendly matches on numerous occasions down through the years.
The Glasgow side had already shown for their support of the people affected by the tragedy by donating €10,000 to the Creeslough Community Support Fund.
In a statement issued after the tragedy, Celtic said, “Everyone at Celtic Football Club wishes to send our most sincere condolences to the families of the 10 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 heart-breaking 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.”
It continues: “Donegal has a long and emotional connection with Celtic Football Club. The area is home to a large contingent of Celtic supporters, one of whom being Martin McGill, who tragically lost his life in the incident.
“We send our heartfelt sympathies to the families of all of the victims and the people of Creeslough.
“Our thoughts, prayers and support are with you all at this difficult time.
“You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
