CELTIC have confirmed the funeral arrangements for late Parkhead legend John 'Yogi' Hughes.
The Lisbon Lion sadly passed away on August 1 aged 79 following a short illness.
Now, the club have shared information on funeral arrangements with the cortege to pass Celtic Park.
Hughes' funeral will take place on Friday, August 12 with a Requiem Mass to be held at St Mary’s, Calton at 12.30pm.
The funeral cortege will then pass Celtic Park at approximately 1.45pm with supporters asked to wear some green in a tribute to the Lisbon Lion.
The service will be broadcast on Celtic TV and the club Youtube channel for fans unable to attend Celtic Park on Friday.
But those wishing to attend Celtic Park have been asked to arrive at The Celtic Way at around 1.30pm in time for the cortege to pass the stadium.
Hughes earned icon status at Celtic during an incredible period at the club in the 1960s as he won seven league titles, five League Cups, four Scottish Cups and the European Cup.
The Celtic statement read: "The funeral of Celtic legend, John Hughes will take place this Friday, and the cortege will pass Celtic Park following the Requiem Mass.
"The Mass will be held at St Mary’s, Calton on Friday, August 12 at 12.30pm, and following the service, the funeral cortege will then make its way to Celtic Park at approximately 1:45pm.
"The service will be broadcast on Celtic TV and the club’s official YouTube channel for those who can’t be at Celtic Park on the day but who still want to pay respects to a Hoops hero and a fellow Celtic supporter.
"Fans who wish to pay their respects in person are encouraged to arrive at The Celtic Way outside Celtic Park for 1.30pm in time for the cortege passing Paradise.
"John’s family have intimated that a fitting tribute would be the wearing of some green to acknowledge John's Celtic connection and lifelong love of the club for those in attendance on Friday.
"Big Yogi, who was a star of the golden years of the club in the 1960s and an all-time Celtic great, passed away on Monday, August 1 at the age of 79.
"The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Celtic Park are with John’s family and friends at this sad time."
