The North Curve have called for The Celtic End in Glasgow's east-end to be turned into an 'iconic stand famous for its vocal and visual support.'

"The Celtic End could be transformational for the club both on and off the park. While there are some understandable reservations - particularly from fans who currently occupy this area - at this stage in the campaign we are simply asking you to keep an open mind and consider the wider benefits to the club.

"We ask fans to answer these questions favourably. From here, once the demand is evidenced, we expect a full consultation piece to follow
