Celtic supporters chanted ”If you hate the royal family clap your hands” during a minute’s applause in memory of the Queen, before the Scottish Premiership game against St Mirren in Paisley.

The hosts had confirmed the planned applause days after Celtic became the subject of Uefa disciplinary proceedings when supporters displayed an banner reading “Fuck the Crown” during Wednesday’s Champions League draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland.

Visiting fans housed in one stand behind the goals in Paisley chanted the anti-monarchy sentiment and there was banner held up which read: “If you hate the Royal Family clap your hands”.

In the runup to Sunday’s game, Celtic’s manager Ange Postecoglou had called on fans to respect the tribute: “I have the same message to our fans that we always have.
