Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou wants supporters to respect a minute's applause for the Queen before Sunday's game against St Mirren.

The club are the subject of UEFA disciplinary proceedings after supporters displayed an anti-Crown banner during Wednesday's Champions League draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw.

When asked if he had a message for supporters ahead of Sunday's planned tribute, Postecoglou said: "I have the same message to our fans that we always have. As I said before the game (against Shakhtar), we will abide by the protocols. We wore black armbands on Wednesday night.

"I think there's a minute's applause, we will abide by whatever obligations and responsibilities we have as a football club. We will do that in a respectful manner. We want our supporters to do the same."

St Mirren revealed on Friday an applause will be held at the SMISA Stadium ahead of the midday kick-off.

St Johnstone have also said they will be doing the same ahead of their match against Ross County on Saturday.

Asked about the decision, St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson said: "I can only speak for us as a football club and myself.

"We'll be showing our utmost respect. We just hope everybody is respectful".
