In a unique gesture to welcome those travelling, both from Glasgow and further afield, a pub has renamed itself 'The Bhoys Inn' to mark the fixture between the respective champions of Scotland and Austria.
On Instagram, the establishment, usually known as the 'Chelsea Pub', posted, "We are really excited that Glasgow Celtic football fans will arrive in Linz over the next few days.
"The world's best travelling fans, aka The Bhoys, will love the new name of our pub. The Bhoys Inn will be open on Monday 24th from 12pm and on Tuesday 25 from 10am."
Celtic travel to the third largest city in the country with a 3-0 lead in the tie, thanks to their efforts last week in Glasgow.

After a strong start from the visitors, Martin O'Neill's side took the lead through Benjamin Nygren, before a brace from summer signing Camilo Duran swung the contest firmly in Celtic's favour.
Despite this, LASK had numerous chances to get on the scoresheet, with Viljami Sinisalo thoroughly tested in between the sticks for the home side.
The second leg will be played at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz.
